Once you successfully complete your probationary period, you'll be formally signed into your apprenticeship -Certificate III in Engineering – Fabrication Trade (Sheetmetal).

A nationally recognised Certificate III in Engineering – Fabrication Trade (Sheetmetal).
Hands-on training from experienced tradespeople.
Exposure to a wide range of fabrication equipment and manufacturing processes.
