We deliver your off-the-job training while your employer delivers on-the-job training.

7. What is the course structure for an apprenticeship at the Automotive Institute of Technology (AIT)?
Course Delivery & Benefits:
- The program is structured over 3 years providing the employer with more access to their apprentices when they are needed most.
- A set number of units will be completed each year, ensuring clarity on the progress of the apprenticeship for both the employer and apprentice.
- A set number of days for classroom training will be allocated to each apprentice at the beginning of each year. This consists of approximately 4 blocks of training per year (with a minimum 2 days to a maximum of 4 days per block, in any one year).
- A clear focus is made on reducing the impact of classroom training on the employer and minimise workplace disruptions.
- A minimum number of trainer/assessor contact hours, for workplace visits per apprentice, will be undertaken each year to assist with transferring learning into the workplace.
8. Do I need my own tools for my apprenticeship?
No, you will be provided with a tool kit from the AIT when you commence your apprenticeship. However, if you would like to purchase your own this is also allowed.
9. When should I apply for an apprenticeship?
