Our building design and construction courses are highly regarded in the building industry.
They're designed to give international students the practical skills, knowledge and qualifications to work at para-professional level in residential and commercial construction.
Our strong partnerships with organisations such as City of Greater Geelong give you the opportunity to work on live projects throughout the region. You are also exposed to international study experiences through our study tour program.
“I always enjoyed building, and seeing my friends learn the trade and enjoy their work inspired me to enter the industry. I took the first step by enrolling in a carpentry pre-apprenticeship at The Gordon. I knew this would give me the basic skills for the industry, and improve my chances of finding an employer.
The Gordon facilities are excellent and the teachers work in the industry so they are a great source of knowledge and know exactly what we needed to learn.
I am a full-time apprentice with CC Home Improvements. The pre-apprenticeship gave me the skills and confidence to take straight onto the job site”.
