Australian Institute of Engineering (AIE) is excited to be offering Apprenticeship training for Cert III in Marine Craft Construction around Victoria and is taking enrolments now.

In 2022 AIE introduced a Cert II traineeship course that was tailored to the Marine Industry, this course has shown to be a good introductory pathway for some employees to get a feel for the industry over 12 months before signing up into an apprenticeship. With the Cert III apprenticeship course now an option AIE now have the two courses on offer for business and potential employees.

AIE's training program is tailored to assist each business individually that require an on-the-job training program for all or part of the training contact. AIE will provide training under an approved Training Scheme as nominated on the training contract. In conjunction with the employer and apprentice AIE will develop a customised training plan to suit your needs, with a wide range of units on offer.

If you are interested in either course or would like more information an online information session has been scheduled for 1st March at 5pm via Zoom. During this session AIE will demonstrate its training process but would also like to seek feedback about the training you may want into the future.
