Do you have a student currently in Year 10, 11 or 12 possibly interested in a trade career and wanting to leave school with a pre-apprenticeship course completed? CBSHS is about to start a Certificate II in Automotive Vocational Preparation course run here onsite through our partnership RTO Tactile Learning. It can be a stepping stone towards careers in Automotive Mechanics including Heavy and Light Vehicle, Marine, Motorcycle or Racing; could be used for personal knowledge for car hobbies or basic maintenance and servicing of your own vehicle in the future; or as an alternative subject pathway instead of typical school subjects. There are very limited places still remaining.
- It will run every Wednesday all day and will be a mix of online theory and onsite practical (yes, working on our donated car)
- Duration is one semester – starting Week 2 Term 3 and finishing in November (so Year 12s can enrol and perfect for Year 10s looking to exit school at the end of this year)
- Students cannot participate if already enrolled in Cert III Fitness, Cert III Health Services Assistance, or an external certificate such as a traineeship or TAFE course; or if they have previously used their VETiS funding
- Students gain 4 QCE points if they successfully complete the course as well as the completion of the pre-vocational course for a mechanical apprenticeship
- The students will use their one off access to VETiS funding making this course free of charge
Please contact Bel Smith, Industry Liaison Officer, ASAP on bsmit874@eq.edu.au or ask your student to visit the Pathways Office in F05 for more information.
