We Teach in a Way to Ensure You’re Successful
We know that learning how to build, as well as all the things that go with it like applying for permits, can be overwhelming. That’s why we have great instructors that are experienced but also understand that different people learn in different ways.
We want you to pass. And we want you to feel confident in your capabilities at the end of the Certificate IV.
That’s why we offer one-on-one Zoom or face-to-face training support. Our trainers have helped hundreds of students from a variety of backgrounds just like you to pass the course. They’ll sit with you and help you with anything you’re struggling with. Whether you need some help with the technology or don’t understand how to use the Building Code, they’ll talk you through it and make sure you learn.
You can also attend Saturday tutorials at our training centre if you feel like you need ongoing face to face support.
And all our classes are live so you can ask any questions you need to while they’re fresh in your mind.
