School-based Traineeships

Fast track your Career!


Co-Educational Independent Senior Secondary School


Year 11 and 12 students enrol and attend the College in a full time capacity adhering to all the guidelines of discipline and uniforms. The focus is "Excellence while getting a Trade" which generates a unique campus atmosphere.

They are provided with an opportunity to start their career (at Certificate III level of their chosen trade) at the end of Year 10 and study for their Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) at the same time.

The very successful "4 weeks-at-work and 4 weeks-at-College" rotational model for trade training and curriculum delivery, developed to suit the needs of the students and employers, accelerates trade training and subsequently full time placement for Business and Information Technology trainees.

Trade training delivered by industry-current trainers in the College's industry-standard facilities on site is very convenient for the students and also gives them the edge compared to most trade training delivery methods in the school-based environment.

Example of a Pathway for Business or Information Technology

QCE + Certificate III in Year 11 and
QCE + Diploma in Year 12
= entry to Second Year University courses in Business and IT.

A Senior Certificate (QCE) and an OP equivalent Selection Rank Score will also be issued on request. As well, the College graduates will have had two years exposure working in a business, and have a better understanding of the key elements to succeed in business. For more information on the QCE or Qld Core Skills Test, go to this section in this menu.

If you would like to find out more about the Traineeship Program, the next monthly Information Evening is advertised on this website or alternatively, call the Registrar on 3414 5960 or contact the College through the Contact Us email on this page.
