Study in Building and Construction

When you study in Building and Construction trade courses at the TEC, the learning and doing takes place in the purpose designed Building Site, in special purpose classrooms with interactive technology, on community projects and on work experience placements (VCAL courses only).

Trades Building Site

The focus for Building and Construction training is the Building Site at Berwick TEC. This work space simulates the operations of a live building site where several trades can work around each other, or together on common projects, at the same time. Site access and induction, site operation and OH&S regulations all apply as they would on a real building site.

While working in their specialist fields, students interact and get exposed to what everyone else is doing, to other skills in action ... so you get your eyes opened to how the broader industry works, getting things done in teams.
