This course is available as an apprenticeship.

You must be employed in a training contract by an appropriate organisation to study an apprenticeship or traineeship.

An apprenticeship involves full time work with an employer who provides an opportunity to learn all aspects of a trade. This is a structured program for a fixed period of time and while you learn on the job, you also attend off the job training at SM TAFE.

Some of the benefits of an Apprenticeship are that you can:

• Earn a wage while you train
• Learn on the job skills combined with off the job training
• Receive a nationally recognised qualification on successful completion
• Start a valuable step towards a rewarding career path

Students must be at least 18 years old to commence this course.

This course is available as a traineeship.

You must be employed in a training contract by an appropriate organisation to study an apprenticeship or traineeship.

In a traineeship you also gain hands-on skills and work experience, and improve your employment prospects, while earning a wage. On successful completion you will gain a nationally recognised qualification which can lead to rewarding career options. The difference between a traineeship and an apprenticeship is that a traineeship can be either a full time or part time employment based training arrangement, usually for a nominal duration of 12 months or more, generally in a non-trade related area.

To find out how to arrange a traineeship and study at South Metropolitan TAFE, please contact the Jobs and Skills Centre closest to you.

This course is not available to study by applicants outside of WA.

Completion of RII50515 Diploma Civil Construction Design or equivalent is required before commencing this course.

• If your plan is to continue study following this course, you should read the entry requirements for the HLT54115 Diploma of Nursing including literacy and numeracy testing to meet minimum standards as set by the Nursing and Midwifery Board.
• Completion of the Certificate IV in Preparation for Nursing is not a guaranteed entry into the Diploma of Nursing with high demand making the applications for the course subject to competitive assessment, but it does greatly increase your chances with the introductory skills and knowledge that lead to a nursing career.
