Where we're from

Techskill Academy (formerly Techskill Training) was born at the height of the Australian Coal Seam Gas boom, when qualified workers were in high demand.

In 2014, the Australian Government required all workers in the oil and gas, and upstream construction industries to meet national standards and hold the required industry recognised qualifications.

Techskill was engaged by multiple energy companies to develop and deliver training initiatives for many national operations spanning thousands of staff.

In 2015, Techskill Academy became a registered and licensed training provider upon approval from the national regulator, Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA).

Since then, we’ve developed training strategies for some of the world’s largest oil and gas, and construction companies. Now we offer over forty nationally recognised programs across seven different industry sectors.

Our Core Values

The greatest gift is the ability to resolve issues. If a customer has an issue, it’s simple; seek a solution and fix it.

If we make a mistake, we own it. Blame is not the answer.

If a customer asks for something outside the box, we think outside the box.

It’s better to be fast than slow. If a customer needs it quick, move swiftly.

Start with the customer and work backwards.

If our customers are not succeeding, we are not succeeding.
