Super Saturday Success: TIV practical training

The Trade Institute of Victoria (TIV) continues to enhance its reputation as industry leader in the building and construction sector with the launch of its ‘Super Saturday’ series last weekend.

The innovative concept involves the delivery of a series of on-site practical visits for TIV’s CPC40110 – Certificate IV in Building and Construction (Building) and Diploma of Building and Construction (Building) students.

The classes are interactive in design and dynamic in delivery, adding an extra dimension to the courses with a particular emphasis on the practical components of these otherwise predominately theoretical based programs.

The inaugural ‘Super Saturday’ took place at TIV’s outdoor workplace training facility in West Footscray last weekend, facilitated by highly experienced trainers, TIV support staff and multiple groups of highly engaging and willing TIV students.
