Testimonial
"Apprentices coming from The Gordon are driven and ready to work from day one. With strong training and guidance from their teachers at The Gordon, we're confident that they’re set up for long, successful careers and help raise the standard of our industry."
Jayden, Aquatap Plumbing
"I completed my own training at The Gordon, so I’m confident in the level of training my apprentices receive. The flexible structure makes it easy for both myself and the apprentices, and having a well‑trained apprentice is important to me. I’m comfortable sending them out on their own, knowing they’ve received the training and background knowledge at The Gordon in areas we don’t always get to cover on the job."
Matt Golightly, Golightly Constructions
