Once you know what you want to do, and which Qualification you want, the next step is to find the right training.
Training and Assessment that results in a Training Package Qualification or Statement of Attainment can be done in various ways such as online, on the job, mentorship, by correspondence or attending courses in person.
You can gain Qualifications via…
- Australian Apprenticeships include apprenticeships and traineeships and combine on the job and off the job training with paid employment. Australian Apprenticeships lead to a nationally recognised Training package Qualification.
- Full Time and Part Time Courses may be offered for some Training Package Qualifications through a Registered Training Organisation (RTO).
- Recognition of Skills. You can apply for recognition of your existing skills. This is known as Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) or Recognition of Current Competency (RCC). Recognised skills and competency can lead to a Statement of Attainment for Units of Competency or count towards the achievement of a Training Package Qualification. Should you receive recognition for all the required skills, you are able to receive the Qualification without any further training.
There are also…
- Technology Cadetships are a new kind of qualification aimed primarily at school leavers and are of a shorter duration than Australian Apprenticeships. They are designed to provide a fast track 'start' to a career in Manufacturing. You earn while you learn via on the job training from supervisors and technicians, and also receive training from a Registered Training Organisation (RTO).
- Higher Education Qualifications gained from a university, TAFE or other educational institution or organisation can provide a great start to many exciting and rewarding careers in Manufacturing. These include Qualifications in engineering and science, and in fields such as IT, Marketing, Human Resources and Commerce to name but a few.
