The Australian Technical College – Northern Tasmania is a registered non-government school catering for Year 11 and 12 students looking to get a head start in a trade career. The College offers an innovative curriculum which integrates Tasmanian Certificate of Education (TCE) requirements, units of competence from selected training packages, along with employability and enterprise skills, and supported by extensive on-line learning technology for increased flexibility and accessibility to students and employers.
Students undertake an Australian School-based Apprenticeship at Certificate III level in their chosen trade which includes part-time employment with an employer over the two years, providing a strong foundation to their trade career. The College currently offers trade training in the building and construction, metal and engineering, electrotechnology and commercial cookery industries. Automotive and Rural industries are being considered for inclusion.
The College operates from two campuses; a central campus in Launceston and a satellite campus situated in Burnie on the North West coast. The College is currently operating from interim sites in both locations and plans to move in to new purpose built campuses in Launceston and Burnie in November 2008.
The College is governed by an industry led Board of Directors. Local industry support and community involvement include representatives from Delta Hydraulics, Caterpillar Elphinstone, Russell Smith Pty Ltd, CB&M, Tasmanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Learning Partners, St Patrick’s College, RGB Consulting and KPMG. The independent chair is Mr Mac Russell, founding partner in Russell Smith Electrical and Communication Pty Ltd. Industry Reference Groups provide direct input to the operation of the College.
