Why Choose Techskill Academy?

Fair question. Choosing a training provider is a decision that follows you for years, because the qualification sits on your resume, supports your licence application and shapes the work you can take on. Here is the honest answer, built from the facts.

We Started on a Gas Field, Not in a Boardroom

Techskill began in 2012 during the Queensland coal seam gas boom in the Surat and Bowen Basins. It started as a recruitment company, co-founded an IADC and IWCF certified well control school in Toowoomba, became a registered training organisation in 2014, and then followed its people from energy into construction.

That history matters because of who builds the courses. Training built by people who have done the work travels further than training built by people who haven't. Our executive team brings more than 50 years of combined construction industry experience, and it shows in the way units are written, assessed and supported.

Four Federal Audits, Four Clean Results

Registered training organisations are audited by the federal regulator, and the results are public. Techskill Academy has completed four federal audits with 100 percent compliance across systems, processes and course quality.

That record places us in the top 3 percent of private RTOs in Australia. It also means the qualification you receive is one a regulator, an employer or a licensing body can rely on.

Where Australia's Builders Train

Federal data shows that 1 in 6 Australians who graduate with a Certificate IV in Building and Construction train with Techskill Academy. Since 2012 more than 15,000 learners have come through our programs.

Our scope covers more than 25 full qualifications and over 300 accredited units across construction, safety, leadership and business, all delivered 100 percent online so study fits around site hours, rosters and family.

100 Percent Australian Staffed

Nothing is offshored. Our team works from the Brisbane head office in Toowong and is available Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 5:00pm AEST, on 1300 089 979 or at enquiries@techskill.com.au. When you call, you speak to someone who knows the industry, the courses and the licensing rules in your state.

Skills Recognition Done Properly

If you have years on the tools or in a supervisory role, you may already meet much of the standard a qualification assesses. Our Skills Recognition process maps your evidence against the units of competency, tests the depth behind it and awards the units you can demonstrate, with targeted gap training for the rest.

Through our technology arm, Viseera, we are also building assessment and recognition tools that make that process faster and more consistent without lowering the bar. The standard being measured is the same one a full-time student meets.

More Than a Training Provider

Techskill Academy sits inside a group built to solve the whole problem, not one piece of it:

• National Licensing handles company registration, director registration, business set-up and licensing support.
• Open Education Academy delivers professional and business qualifications.
• Business coaching and workforce development strategy for employers building a team.
• Queensland Government subsidised training for eligible students as a Skills Assure supplier.

We are members of the Housing Industry Association and the Australian Builders Association, and our qualifications are nationally recognised under the Australian Qualifications Framework.

What We Stand For

Six principles guide how we work: solutions, honesty, innovation, speed, prioritisation and success. Behind them is one mission, to create workforce solutions that disrupt traditional methods and positively impact the lives of over one million people.

A Word on Licensing

A qualification supports a licence application, it does not guarantee one. The regulator in your state weighs experience, financial capacity and other criteria against its own current requirements. We will tell you that plainly before you enrol, and help you work backwards from the licence you actually want.
