Construction and trade training involves practical skills, safety awareness and the ability to work as part of a professional team.

What students should check before applying
Before applying, students should review the course page and offer information carefully, including the course code, CRICOS course code, duration, delivery mode, fees, entry requirements, additional requirements, units of competency and any practical training requirements.
Some courses may include LLND checks, pre-enrolment review, equipment or technology expectations, and other suitability checks. These steps help AIA confirm that students have access to appropriate support and understand the requirements before enrolment.
Choosing the right pathway
Certificate III trade qualifications generally focus on practical trade skills, while the Certificate IV and Diploma building and construction qualifications may suit students who want to develop broader building, site, project and construction management knowledge. Students should choose a course based on their goals, current skills and the requirements of the qualification.
Course availability, delivery details and requirements may change, so students should rely on AIA’s current course pages, formal offer documents and student information provided during enrolment.
