Course and career pathways

A pathway links short courses to real roles. You learn a unit, show what you can do, use it at work, and build a record that employers can trust.

five steps

How a pathway works

  1. Choose a goal

    Pick a role or an aim, such as a first job, a promotion or a new business.

  2. Learn in short units

    Study at your own pace with live classes and a facilitator.

  3. Show your skill

    Quizzes, practical tasks and observed work give honest evidence.

  4. Work on real tasks

    Use the skill in the workplace, with supervision where safety matters.

  5. Earn and grow

    Build a record, and move to the next step or a new role.
