Enhancing your trade career with online training

TAFE Queensland offers a range of online micro-credentials that can be studied at your own pace at any time, which provide the perfect opportunity to expand your career opportunities while away from work.

As clean energy solutions continue to gain traction in the automotive and transport industries, a TAFE Queensland micro-credential in hydrogen or electric vehicle technology can deliver basic knowledge to support your transition alongside the industry.

With no pre-requisites and low cost, micro-credentials offer a perfect opportunity to build knowledge in emerging industry areas to assist your career transition or lead into further, accredited study.

TAFE Queensland Emerging Industries Business Development Manager Shawn O’Sullivan said micro-credentials help expand your career opportunities without needing to take time off or make a substantial financial commitment.

“A micro-credential is a great way to get some basic knowledge in an emerging technology within your industry and open career opportunities through studying in your own time,” Mr O’Sullivan said.

“The transport and automotive industries are experiencing fast and largescale changes, and workers who set themselves apart by gaining knowledge in emerging technologies before their colleagues will see increased career transition opportunities.”

“There are more than 15 micro-credentials to choose from in the electric vehicle and hydrogen sectors, which would be very useful to transport and automotive industry members,” he said.

Micro-credentials and other TAFE Queensland training development is informed by partnerships with industry leaders such as Mynt Energy Tech to ensure training reflects the latest upcoming industry changes. These courses take approximately two to three hours to complete and provide basic knowledge in emerging industries and technologies.
