Motorbike and bicycle mechanics courses
I would definitely recommend TAFE Queensland to others. With real-world experience from the teachers and world-class facilities and tools to use, there's really no other place to be.
There are about ten or so units that I might be able to get RPL for. A lot of the servicing aspects I have been doing for years so it’s great that I can shorten the length of my apprenticeship by getting recognition for what I already know.
To anyone considering a trade career, don't let anything hold you back. Never give up, if there's a hurdle in your way there's a way to get past it.
They combine theory with practical so you get a really good range of hands on, practical training and ... in the classroom learning. The teachers are TAFE are always really supportive; they make sure they explain everything really well, precisely and efficiently.
The automotive world is continually changing and evolving so we all take an active approach in getting back into the workplace as often as we can to improve our knowledge base.
