How does our Apprenticeship Program work?

¶º±ÈÖ±²¥ offers a 4 year apprenticeship program. Apprentices require both ‘off the job’ and ‘on the job’ training. Depending on the location of the apprenticeship, off the job training is provided at one of the following TAFE colleges and Registered Training Organisations (RTO’s):

  • Box Hill Institute Victoria
  • Homesglen Institute of TAFE Victoria
  • Air Conditioning & Mechanical Contractors Association (AMCA) – Victoria
  • Fire Industry Training (FIT) – Victoria
  • TAFE SWSI – Granville College New South Wales
  • The Service Trades College – Queensland
  • TAFE Queensland SkillsTech

These training providers have been selected to ensure the curriculum is appropriate and relevant to the workplace and ‘on the job’ practical training, ensuring our apprentices get the most out of their training. In addition, apprentices may access additional training and personal development programs to further their career, reach full potential both professionally and personally, leading to a more fulfilling and higher quality life.

On-the-job training is conducted on our various work sites and at ¶º±ÈÖ±²¥ facilities under the supervision and direction of expert and experienced staff.

Our Apprentice Supervisors look after the career interests of all apprentices, providing support, career direction and mentoring to individual apprentices.
