Gain a qualification through a traineeship
Traineeships combine formal study with paid on-the-job training, helping you gain real-world experience while completing a nationally recognised qualification. At Aurora Training & Professional Services, you have the option to take a traineeship with one of our nationally recognised qualifications below:
Training delivery
In addition to workplace-based training, we provide online or hard-copy resources to support trainees in achieving their learning goals and successfully completing their traineeship. Workplace visits are key to allowing us to assess the trainee's progress and provide additional support and guidance as needed.
Classroom
Trainees may attend face-to-face or virtual classes where the trainer conducts the training and assessment of the qualification.
Online
Online learning is a self-paced learning approach where trainees are given access to learning and assessment resources. Trainees learn at their own pace and have access to and support from their trainers and assessors via telephone, email, and video call.
