Real outcomes from real participants

Dylan, one of our apprentices who completed his training at the Skills Centre, was recently featured in the Sydney Morning Herald.

He completed his training at the Skills and Development Centre before progressing into the trade

"Ian explained everything in a way I could truly understand — even the parts I struggled with during my pre-apprenticeship. He showed me how to wire everything up on the board, and then I was able to do it myself.”
