Train as an apprentice
As an apprentice you will learn from a master craftsperson, earn a wage and do some formal training with us. All in preparation of becoming a qualified tradesperson.
Train with your employer
The idea of an apprenticeship dates back to our earliest times—a master craftsperson would pass their skills on to another (often a younger person)—to ensure the skills, craft and their legacy was passed on to the next generation. The idea behind apprenticeships[1] hasn’t really changed. As an apprentice today, you will work closely with your employer observing and shadowing them, learning their trade. You will complete tasks alongside of them, and gradually transition to working more independently. You will earn a wage at the same time, and as you grow more skilled so will your earning potential.
Train with us
You will also receive formal training from us throughout the duration of your apprenticeship.
Create your training plan
We will work with you and your employer to build a training plan that complements the work that you are doing on-site, and where your employer wants to build your skills. Throughout the duration of yourtrades apprenticeship you will work through your training plan
Delivery mode options
As an apprentice your time with our teachers will help give you a different perspective to learning on-site with your employer. This is important as you build your skillset as a master craftsperson in your own right.
During the TAFE Queensland sign-up process we will discuss apprenticeship training delivery options with you. These include online, on-campus (such as block training) or workplace delivery. Sometimes there is a combination of these. Delivery mode options change depending on the qualification type and location.
Our block training is the traditional way apprenticeship training is delivered. You will come into one of our campuses to learn on industry-standard technology. Block training takes place over one to four weeks. You receive your standard wage while you are attending training. During your block you will receive instruction on the different competencies in your apprenticeship training plan and you will be assessed to determine your proficiency.
We have workplace-based options for a number of our qualifications. One of our teachers will attend your workplace to conduct training, assessment and observation of the skills you’ve learned with your employer.
We offer some online and virtual options for training, assessment and observation. Often online delivery is focused on theoretical learning rather than practical. Often online or virtual classroom is used to augment or complement your face-to-face learning rather than replace it.
