The 22614VIC Certificate II in Building and Construction Pre-apprenticeship describes the entry-level skills and knowledge needed in the carpentry industry. Preparing to work safely in the construction industry is imperative and this course is contextualised to the Carpentry stream.

This accredited course is a pathway into a Certificate III apprenticeship and will not lead to employment in the Construction sector on its own.

Your training will focus on: 

  • applying basic levelling procedures
  • carrying out basic measurements and calculations
  • communicating in the workplace
  • erecting and safely using working platforms
  • interpreting basic plans and drawings
  • preparing and applying for work in the construction industry
  • working effectively and sustainably in the construction industry
  • onsite workplace safety practices

AST auspices this accredited course to secondary schools so their teachers can deliver it to secondary school students as part of their VET studies.

The combined skills and knowledge of the pre-apprenticeship course do not provide for a job outcome as a qualified tradesperson as this course is intended to prepare individuals for further training.

Assessment may consist of

  • written answers to questions
  • role plays
  • holistic assessment

Evidence may be 

  • written 
  • audio recordings
  • video recordings
  • observation
  • Zoom recording
  • interview
  • documents

All students will engage in a language, literacy, numeracy and digital literacy (LLND) activity to evaluate potential support requirements.

I have recently completed my Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care through AST under the guidance of Carley who has been absolutely incredible as a trainer. The online studies made it fit into my busy life schedule, anywhere. I would highly recommend AST to anyone looking to get into the Early Childhood Education field.
