Broad incumbents

• TAFE Queensland: Largest publicly-funded Registered Training Organisation in Queensland, offering UEE-aligned electrical and RAC certificate pathways alongside a much broader curriculum. Directly comparable to Get Skilled Training on subject matter but competes via government-subsidised fees and a wider portfolio.
• TAFE NSW: New South Wales public TAFE offering UEE-aligned electrical training and RAC-related courses across multiple campuses. Competes head-to-head with Get Skilled Training's Sydney and broader NSW delivery via government-subsidised fees.
• TAFE SA: South Australian public TAFE delivering electrical and refrigeration training including UEE-aligned pathways. Competes in the Adelaide market where Get Skilled Training also operates a training venue.
• GOTAFE: Goulburn Ovens Institute of TAFE in regional Victoria offering electrotechnology, refrigeration, and air-conditioning apprenticeships and short courses. Comparable VET provider with both accredited trades and broader curriculum.
• Chisholm Institute: Victorian TAFE offering electrotechnology, air conditioning, and refrigeration apprenticeship pathways from multiple campuses including Dandenong South (proximity overlap with Get Skilled Training's Melbourne venues).
• Holmesglen Institute: Large Victorian TAFE offering electrical, refrigeration, and air-conditioning pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship pathways. Competitor in the Melbourne and broader Australian market, with much broader course depth than Get Skilled Training but less focus on the RAC-licence gap segment.
