Welcome to the School of Automotive Engineering & Technology.
The School offers an extensive range of TAFE courses, providing pre-vocational, vocational and diploma training for individuals and industries. These courses align with the Australian Qualifications Framework and originate from the following departments:
Strong industry links
The School maintains strong links with industry to ensure training is relevant, with a considerable number of full-time and part-time staff working within company operations. To ensure the quality of the School's courses and to meet changing industry needs, the professional development of staff is a high priority for the School. All staff attend internal/external workshops to keep them attuned with current educational and technological developments.
A flexible approach
Assisting individuals and companies in the workplace is a major part of the School's business - using flexible training materials, companies are able to utilise both the University and their own qualified staff to deliver training that complements individual training schedules.
The School provides on-the-job training, both short and long term, in a broad range of industries. With specifically developed programs for the new apprenticeship system (subject to an agreed training program), traineeships can now be completed totally within the workplace. Study options are available for mature-age students entering into the work force or upgrading their existing qualifications, or school leavers wishing to begin a career in their chosen field.
