Spark your career with an electrical pre-apprenticeship
According to Jobs and Skills Australia, electricians are in demand across many key sectors. These include roles in construction, manufacturing, and mining. All of these sectors are critical to the Australian economy.
A pre-apprenticeship can provide you with a strong start in the electrical trade. The course prepares you for an electrical apprenticeship. It also makes you an attractive candidate to employers as you’ll be prepared for the role and show your commitment to the trade.
The Certificate II in Electrotechnology (Career Start) can prepare you for many roles, including apprentice electrician, apprentice refrigeration and air-conditioning mechanic and more.
You'll get hands-on training in our state-of-the-art training environments.
