    What are pre-apprenticeships?

    Pre-apprenticeships are Certificate II courses. A pre-apprenticeship is a great way to get a start in a career. Many employers are now requesting you complete a pre-apprenticeship qualification before applying for a Certificate III apprenticeship.

    We have regular pre-apprenticeship courses running for a range of industries. 

    What do I need to do a pre-apprenticeship?

    You don’t need any previous study or experience to do a pre-apprenticeship course and you may qualify for government funding to reduce the cost.

    When and where do courses run?

    Our courses are scheduled regularly and run from 12 to 16 weeks (full time) across locations in Melbourne and Gippsland. They fill quickly so apply below to get started. If there is not a scheduled course that suits you, contact us to secure a spot in the next course.
