Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships combine structured 'on' and 'off' the job training with paid employment, with the 'off-the-job' component being delivered away from the workplace at a Registered Training Organisation, such as Challenger Institute of Technology.

Apprenticeships are available in a number of Industries and are offered as full-time, part-time and school-based. The term of an apprenticeship will depend on the employment type but will range from 2.5 to 4 years for full-time employment.

On the successful completion of an apprenticeship a Trade Certificate is awarded.
