About infrastructure and transport
Infrastructure and transport are booming across the state, country and globe, opening the door for the next generation to create exciting careers in the industry.
TAFE Queensland provides courses across a variety of areas including resources and mining, water operations, aviation, maritime, and transport and logistics. Whether you're an experienced practitioner looking to improve a specific skill set, or you're just starting out, TAFE Queensland has what you're looking for.
Learn skills and knowledge from an award-winning training provider to ensure you graduate job ready.
The teachers here at TAFE Queensland are quite amazing, so are the instructors. They're very patient, and they support you right through it, from the start to the finish.
There was a really good mix of theory and practical training, you are not just sitting in a classroom learning. You get a lot of opportunities to fly and understand how everything works and apply the theory firsthand.
The facilities at TAFE are great. The teachers and mentors have been amazing, they're very experienced and very knowledgeable. They put so much time into supporting everyone in the program. It was the most impressive display of teaching that I have seen.
So far I’ve enjoyed the practical side of the course the most. At this stage I think I would like to work as a track worker and then hopefully move up to become a train driver.
