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.”
