To help combat the skills shortage in Queensland and to meet technological change, funding is available for automotive trades people to achieve a second trade. Dual qualifications can be achieved by the traditional apprenticeship style training and assessment method, however Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Credit Transfer (CT) from previous qualifications will be applied.
Qualifications the MTA Institute can offer are:
Employer’s workshop and/or the MTA Institute campus, Freeway Office Park, Building 8, 2728 Logan Road, Eight Mile Plains.
The nominal duration to complete this competency based apprenticeship is 4 years full time. This duration is proportionately increased for part-time and school-based arrangements. The MTA Institute’s flexible training model takes into account the learner’s skills and knowledge acquired through previous training and experience. This may lead to a reduction in the time required to complete this apprenticeship.
There are a range of methods used for our training and assessment which include written and oral questions / answers, and demonstration and observation of practical tasks.
All apprenticeship entry requirements are available at the Department of Trade, Employment and Training (DTET).
