HEADINGA MORE PROFESSIONAL WORKFORCE

RTO 0275 CRICOS 03020E

“My assessment process with TAFE Queensland

was very thorough and very relevant to the work that

we do. These qualifications will be a massive help to

our industry and will give us a lot more flexibility and

a more professional workforce.

This training will also provide us with a more

qualified pool of workers to draw from when trying to

replace retiring workers or when extra staff are

needed after a hail storm which is when work can

get really busy.”
