Pre-apprenticeships
Learn the basics of an industry you’re interested in and equip yourself with the skills and knowledge an employer looks for when hiring an apprentice.
What is a pre-apprenticeship course?
Stand out from the crowd of other would-be apprentices by completing a pre-apprenticeship course at Swinburne.
Our pre-apprenticeship courses (Certificate II) will teach you the basics of your chosen industry including the theory and practical skills needed to lay the foundations of a successful and rewarding career.
If you don’t want to commit to a particular industry right away, a pre-apprenticeship course is a great way to test out an industry before you pursue or commence a full apprenticeship.
Have questions about pre-apprenticeships?
Traditionally known as TAFE, Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses are practical and hands-on, equipping you with the skills and experience you’ll need to make your dream career a reality.
Come to one of our on-campus Try VET taster events throughout the year and get all your questions answered. The first event kicks off in March 2024.
