During my Pre-Apprenticeship, my Trainer Lindsay Moore was really helpful, when you are starting out you have no idea what you are doing, it’s a steep learning curve but he was always patient and took the time to help everyone. As a result of completing the Pre-Apprenticeship I was lucky enough to be employed as an Apprentice and continued my training with GOTAFE.

Charlie commenced with GOTAFE as a Pre-Apprenticeship student and is now employed by a local builder.

“I did a pre-Apprenticeship fulltime with GOTAFE that took me around six months to complete, it was great, and I recommend it to anyone as it gives you the basic skills to get a kick start in the industry.
