CBT and apprenticeships

Hi all and thanks for the positive feedback,
I just wanted to clarify some of the confusion in the points made above.
Firstly a Cert IV in Aeroskills IS a traditional apprenticeship, and in fact you cannot be enrolled in this course until you are an indentured apprentice (at least in my state). The units of competency simply formalise the one the job training requirements around specific skills.

Secondly the "one year course" offered by the well known school is not a Cert IV in Aeroskills (cert IV is a 48 month course) It is a "pre appreticeship" that the well known school say qualifies its students for the theory only component of the cert IV.
The student still needs to be enrolled in a Cert IV course once an employer is found.

To clarify, the only way to achieve a Cert IV in aeroskills is to complete an apprenticeship, either while undertaking the theory (block release) or after as in the case of the one year course.

Cheers
