Pre-vocational study

TAFE and other registered training organisations offer Certificate level pre-vocational programs in many manufacturing career fields. 

These programs allow you to gain skills and knowledge that will be immediately useful to an employer.

Pre-vocational Certificates are nationally recognised qualifications and are often applicable to a number of career fields.

They are generally aimed at helping you get an apprenticeship or traineeship, because the skills and knowledge associated with holding a Certificate make you more attractive to employers.

Also, completing a pre-vocational course often gains you credit towards an apprenticeship, traineeship or university course.
