Why AIE
Training built around industry.
Specialists, not generalists
A specialist provider focused on engineering trades and post-trade qualifications, not one of hundreds of unrelated training areas.
Sector-specific programs
Programs developed around manufacturing, fabrication, mechanical, foundry, marine and other specialist environments.
Trainers from industry
Training and assessment relate directly to the equipment, processes and standards your people work with every day.
Delivery in your workplace
Where appropriate we deliver and assess on site, rather than requiring employees to regularly attend a campus.
Built around your operation
Delivery structured around shifts, production schedules and employee availability, where releasing staff for classroom training is difficult.
Existing skills recognised
Experienced workers need not start from the beginning. We assess current skills and structure the remaining training around the gaps.
Responsive and accessible
We work directly with each employer on a practical delivery approach, rather than expecting you to fit a fixed institutional model.
Beyond apprenticeships
Post-trade and workforce development pathways that help employers progress and retain the tradespeople they already have.
