Professionals such as carpenters, electricians and painters are in high demand in the country; trade courses focusing on these occupations could be your path to migrating to Australia for good

 

Did you know that it's possible to take a course that will increase your chances of getting an immigration visa to Australia - and also bring you job prospects in the country? These are called trade courses.

 

In order to train qualified professionals, these courses offer a combination of theoretical and practical training. Some even provide professional internships or apprenticeships, so that students can gain experience close to the job market. 

 

Upon completion of the course, students receive recognized qualifications in Australia, which improves their employability in their chosen field.

 

Learn about the benefits of doing a trade course in Australia and which are the main ones in demand in the country.

Benefits of trade courses

A trade course allows you to work as, for example, an electrician, painter, carpenter and air conditioning technician. These professions are in high demand in Australia, due to the low number of people working in these areas in the country.

 

This is the case with carpentry, which, after the covid-19 pandemic, has seen an increase in demand for professionals with the resumption of work in the construction sector. A skilled worker earns between AUD$ 45 and AUD$ 60 per hour.

 

Another attractive point of trade courses is the chance of obtaining a visa for Post-Study WorkThe length of stay can vary from two to four years. Thus, after completing their studies, the person has time to enter the job market and settle in Australia.

 

Air Conditioning trade course

The air conditioning technician course provides a professional with the following skills: component selection, installation, configuration, testing, fault-finding, repair and maintenance of equipment. This applies to building chillers through to food storage chillers.

 

GoodDay has a partnership with Superior Training Center (STC), which offers the "Certificate III in Air Conditioning and Refrigeration" trade course. 

 

With a duration of 112 weeks, the teaching load is 20h per week. In addition to the technical knowledge of installing and operating equipment, there are also subjects on occupational health care.

 

Electrician trade course

The electrician course equips future professionals with the skills and knowledge needed to choose, install, configure, test, diagnose faults, carry out repairs and maintain electrical systems and equipment in buildings and installations. 

 

The knowledge and skills covered in this specific trade course require a license or permit to be applied in the workplace, especially in electrical installations designed to operate with voltages greater than 50 volts alternating current (AC) or 120 volts direct current (DC).

 

The electrician trade course is also available at STC, under the name "Certificate III in Electrical Technology". In a hybrid class format, with part face-to-face and some online activities, the weekly workload is 20h and 129 weeks long. 

 

Carpentry trade course

The carpentry course is a versatile trade course, with professionals in the field being able to work on residential, commercial and construction sites. This professional qualification encompasses the process of designing, manufacturing, building, assembling, installing and repairing products made from wood and non-wood materials.

 

For those interested in studying in Sydney, the Australia offers the course in the city. It lasts two years (4 semesters) and has three different class times. 

 

Those wishing to do the trade course in cities such as Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth can attend Macallan CollegeThis is also a two-year course with classroom lessons.

 

Trade course in Painting and Decorating

The painting and decorating course is suitable for both residential and commercial professionals. Some certifications for working in the sector vary from region to region, so it's important to be aware of the requirements.

 

This trade course is offered by NVR EducationThe course has a total of 20 hours of activities, 14 of which are classes and 6 hours of individual activities. The course lasts 104 weeks.
