About Training Providers

Polytechnics

Competenz engages local and regional polytechnics to provide apprentices in their catchment area with training in the form of block courses, day release training and evening classes.

Most polytechnics provide a broad range of industry and trade training as well as competency assessments and credit reporting services. In some instances polytechnics can provide resources for distance learning as well as specialised industry training courses.

Many polytechnics now employ modern apprenticeship coordinators (MACs) who work to provide apprentices with a higher level of support and mentoring.
