Employer

“On the Job Training and assessment in my opinion has revolutionised the early part of an apprentice’s working career. In my case, our apprentice started as a school based position where he was with us two days a week. During this time Skillinvest provided the guidance and expertise that I think is required to start a young person on their way to being a confident tradesman with a sound work ethic. To have a trainer come into our workplace and provide the necessary reference material and knowledge, as well as carrying out the assessments has been brilliant.”

Garry Drabsch, CFA – Ballarat & District Mechanical Workshop

Apprentice/Trainee

“Skillinvest has provided clear and friendly training throughout my learning experience. If you are having issues with understanding the learning, the trainers try to explain it in a way that you will understand. My trainer has been a great coach and has been very supportive of my learning. I would highly recommend Skillinvest to anyone wanting to learn trade skills and further their knowledge for a better career.”

Katrina, Cert III Automotive Sales, Emmetts
