Delivery Options

This training provider offers courses in the following delivery modes:

Face to face training

In person at our sites in Maylands, Bayswater and Jandakot training centres through block release training with a mixture of classroom delivery and practical development in our workshops. Block training enables students to focus on the particular aspect of the qualification they are working on and allows project work to be completed over the duration of the block.

Offsite training

The RTO can deliver in-person training using facilities at-or-near a client's workplace, or else in a mobile manner as part of our flexible delivery model, initially for painting apprentice training but with a view to roll into the plumbing apprenticeship training

Flexible learning

MPA Skills has developed an on-the-job delivery and assessment process that will allow employers and apprentices to identify key aspects of their trade where on-the-job delivery and assessment could occur. This allows apprentices to complete parts of their qualification without the need to attend the training facility. Primarily based around our painting apprenticeship but with a view to roll into the plumbing apprenticeships

Mixed mode training

A combination of various delivery modes. Also known as 'mixed delivery'. As a result of identifying key aspects of the trade, face to face delivery is used to meet any gaps in the overall qualification requirements.
