Overview

Construction Skills Queensland Provider logo

In partnership with MRAEL, our Construction Skills Queensland (CSQ) funded Trade Ready Program gives school leavers and career changers the chance to step confidently into the construction industry. Over six weeks, you will gain practical trade skills, essential workplace knowledge and real exposure to industry environments. After the skills training you then compete 114-120 hours of structured workplace learning.

If you are still completing school, our Year 12 Trade Ready Program or VETiS might be better suited for you.

While completing my course I have had the pleasure of having Adam teach me. He has been one of the most knowledgeable and helpful teachers I have ever worked with. He is just an example of all the other fantastic people here. This course has been super easy to understand while also being super informative. I couldn’t have asked for a better training centre than this one.
