Nationally accredited training

Our two national training programs, the National Retail Training Program and National Warehouse Training Program, which are made up of nationally accredited units, enable our clients to gain new skills and qualifications, which are recognised throughout Australia.

These programs are unique because they give national skills recognition to people with disabilities, whilst also providing unemployed people with job opportunities. The assessment is the same for both people with or without a disability, and proves that people with disabilities can achieve mainstream qualifications on a level playing field.
