Business and Industry Training

Learn Local organisations deliver quality training that provides immediate and significant benefits to employers and employees.

Most Learn Local organisations offer specialised assistance with general education including literacy and numeracy and teach basic work skills. About half deliver accredited training in business, community service areas like aged care and child care, hospitality, tourism and IT. Some offer a similar course range to TAFE.

The range of courses available throughout the Victorian network of Learn Local organisations can reward your employees with a nationally recognised qualification - these courses can also be tailored to suit your business’ needs. Speak to a Learn Local organisation to see how their courses can be customised to meet your requirements.
