The program offers full completion of the pre-apprenticeship and includes units such as safe handling and use of plant and power tools, quality principles for the construction industry, calculations and workplace documents and plans. Stream-specific units focus on providing the foundation skills required for other trades within the building and construction industry.



Our experienced teachers guide our students through this Nationally Recognised Course.
