Australian Trade Training College

What Australian Trade Training College does

Australian Trade Training College (ATTC) is a Queensland-based not-for-profit Registered Training Organisation (RTO 31399), founded in 2006 and operated as part of the IntoWork Group. The company delivers vocational trade training across eight industry verticals — Agriculture, Electrotechnology, Building & Construction (carpentry, joinery, cabinet making, shopfitting), Plumbing, Engineering (fabrication and mechanical), Automotive, Hospitality, and Business & WHS — spanning Certificate I through Diploma qualifications under the Australian Qualifications Framework. It also acts as a Trades Recognition Australia-approved assessing authority for migrant workers seeking Australian trade recognition.

ATTC operates four purpose-built campuses across Queensland (Banyo, Brendale, Meadowbrook, Toowoomba) with workplace-based delivery at employer sites and blended online learning for theory-heavy components. The product portfolio is organized around three engines: apprenticeships and traineeships (the core earn-while-you-learn pathway), government-funded short courses and qualifications routed through Career Start Program, Free Apprenticeships for Under 25s, VET in Schools, and CSQ funding, and TRA skills assessments conducted domestically and via authorized international partners (AQATO, DUC) across South Asia, Southeast Asia, the UK, and the Pacific.

The business model combines government-subsidized training co-contributions, fee-for-service short courses (priced $100-$2,200), and TRA assessment fees ($450-$2,200 per service). Core customers are Queensland apprentices/trainees, secondary students via VETiS and Trade Ready programs, Queensland employers seeking workforce development (named logos include GBG Construction, Blask Engineering, Ehlerth Electrical, Southern Downs Regional Council), and overseas-qualified tradespeople pursuing migration assessment. The go-to-market blends a sales-led employer partnership motion with community-led school and pre-employment programs, supported by an SEO-driven website and IntoWork Group cross-referrals.
