Student story

“I’m a commercial roof plumber, yet I am learning all the skills associated with other plumbing trades. This is making me a better tradesperson. It’s one of the great things about training at The Gordon, you learn all the key skills you need for your industry. So even though I am in the third year of my apprentice, I’m still learning something new every day. 

I’ve been well supported by my teachers throughout my apprenticeship too, and with first class facilities, the simulated training really supports my development on the job. My aspirations are to continue studying with The Gordon and complete a Certificate IV in Building and Construction."
