Apprenticeships, Traineeships and Workplace Training & Assessment

.

The difference between an apprenticeship and a traineeship is that an apprentice is trained in a skilled trade and will become a qualified tradesperson in trades such as bricklaying, carpentry and plumbing to name a few. An apprenticeship involves employment with an employer who provides an opportunity to learn all aspects of a trade. This is a structured program with a combination of on the job and off the job training at a registered training organisation like Trade Academy Western Australia, which can take between 3-4 years to complete. Upon completion of an apprenticeship you will be eligible to receive a certificate III in your trade area.

A trainee is usually someone being trained in a non-trade vocational area such as office administration, information technology and hospitality, however construction traineeships are still available. This can be either a full-time or part-time employment arrangement and usually takes between 6-12 month to complete. Upon completion of a traineeship you will be eligible to receive a minimum of a certificate II in your vocational area.

We also provide recognition of prior learning (RPL) workplace skills assessments  for those seeking a formal qualification in the below fields.
