Apprentices and Trainees Queensland is a non-profit community based organisation which conducts a wide range of Group Training and vocational programs for young and mature age people throughout the Central Queensland Region.

 

Apprentices and Trainees who are employed by Apprentices and Trainees Queensland are placed with Host Employers who provide on-the-job training which compliments their formal compulsory off-the-job training. This supports the traditional trades as well as facilitating other work-based Traineeship schemes. Our purpose is to promote the highest possible standards in training for all sectors of our community.

 

In order to provide continuous improvement in the services offered within Queensland, Apprentices and Trainees Queensland is committed to implementing a Quality Assurance System which meets ISO 9001:2015 Quality Systems Model for Quality Assurance in Production and Servicing.

 

Quality service is achieved by using a Management Model which is underpinned by a framework of Policies, Procedures and Forms which are reviewed regularly and are relevant to our organisation.

 

Apprentices and Trainees Queensland is accredited to ISO 9001:2015. To ensure Apprentices and Trainees Queensland remains compliant systematic continuous improvement practices are followed enabling Apprentices and Trainees Queensland’s ongoing commitment to the provision of best practice standards, and compliance with all relevant and current industry, legislation and statutory requirements.
