Career Pathway

Construction Courses

Learn the trade

Help build your community by becoming a qualified tradesperson

Working in Construction and gaining a trade are such great building blocks for a career.  From the Certificate I in Construction, to an Apprenticeship, to a Certificate IV and beyond – having a trade knowledge is a foundation for a solid and consistent career with structured pathways and limitless potential.  Completing a trade whether through an apprenticeship, or recognised experience opens career options and provides a fall back position.

Let the Gold Coast Trades College guide your career from entry level pre-vocational trade courses (VETIS),  Apprenticeship Bootcamps (Certificate I in Construction), Cert III Trade Qualifications, Short Courses and Certificate IV level qualifications.
