Hi All,
I am hoping those in Australia maybe able to help?
I did my Apprenticeship in QLD over 10 years ago and would like pursue further studies in the A/C & refrigeration field. I have made enquires over the past couple of years through the Colleges in doing the post trade Diploma in Engineering (Refrigeration & Air Conditioning). I have made enquires to TAFE QLD (now Skillstech Australia) & searched other Colleges in the southern states but with no success...Why is there no longer any options for a Fridge Mechanic to continue with post trade studies through TAFE in Australia. 5-10 years ago it was possible. Seems ironic considering the trades shortage in this country! Is it because they cannot find the teaching staff??
If anyone has some information it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
