VET Construction

Learning within the Construction Curriculum Framework provides opportunities for students to develop relevant technical, vocational and interpersonal competencies suitable for employment and further training in the construction industry. It also provides for the development of employability skills such as communication and teamwork which are transferable to other industry areas and are a key feature of each qualification available through the Framework.

The construction induction certificate (CIC card) which allows you entry onto a Construction site is a compulsory component of this course.  Training is provided to allow you to obtain this certificate and is issued by Safe Work NSW.

The course is primarily a hands-on practical based program of learning with under pinning theory knowledge delivered in a variety of formats.

Personal protective equipment is a compulsory for this course and must be supplied by the student.

There is a compulsory structured 35 hour work placement integrated into this course work for each year of study.
