Students enjoying the cruiser that they built and maintained. “If your study plan does not include digital techniques and China, you are studying the wrong stuff” Australian trade delegation to China 2013 MISSION The Advanced Trade training Centre mission is to effectively prepare men and women for careers in the manufacturing and marine industry as practical designers, builders both traditional and digital, and systems technicians who will be able to work professionally in any industry they choose including the marine industry and be capable and skilled to adapt to a rapidly changing world.

“By the year 2020 95% of Ph.D. graduates will be working in Asia. This means that the majority of Research and Development will be done in Asia which in turn means that most of the world’s investment dollars will be spent in Asia. Anyone who thinks that this will not greatly impact on Australia has not put much thought into it”. Bis Shrapnel report 2012 Advanced Trade Training Centre (ATTC) blends modern marine design, composite boat building, and computer aided manufacturing techniques to develop a person who will be able to work in the current environment while developing contacts and computer aided manufacturing techniques to use Chinese manufacturing capacity. The Centre bridges the gap between theory and practice to provide graduates with the skills and understanding necessary for current employment opportunities and future career growth, whatever that might be. Young people in the past could reasonably expect to gain their training through the apprenticeship system. This is no longer the case because the number of available apprentice places has greatly diminished and will continue to do so. “It is a disaster for those who have gone to the trouble of getting a university degree because they find in reality there are very low job prospects.” Australian Financial Review. 9 August 2014 Australia cannot avoid the massive swing toward the dominance of the Chinese economy. The major portion of world capital investment dollars will move even quicker to China over the next decade. Advances in manufacturing technology will follow the investment dollars. Employment in Queensland is overwhelmingly with small business. 95% of small businesses in Queensland employ 8 or less people and this is going to be a real problem when competing in a world economy. Small companies struggle to keep their doors open let alone be able to divert income into investment to keep up with world trends and consequently, over time, they will succumb to Chinese competition. The car manufacturing industry in Australia is a classic example of world competition impacting on a small market. The trick is to use this manufacturing capacity in China and not be overawed by it. The Diploma program will set you on a pathway to obtaining world skills which will enable you to do this. Below are some of the boats and deck hardware built and maintained by students

PHILOSOPHY Learn by doing. This is our very simple and extremely effective approach to teaching. With a combined classroom and workshop structure, students will leave the Centre with both physical skills and intellectual acumen. By reinforcing traditional practices while employing the latest digital techniques, and information about working with China, our instructors ensure graduates will be prepared for work in the “now” and also prepare them for the changes which will inevitably impact them during their working life. ACCREDITATIONS The Advanced Trade Training Centre is accredited and audited by the Australian Standards Quality Authority. HISTORY Advanced Trade Training Centre has been involved with Vocational Educational Training (VET) on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane since 1995. The Centre is currently training from its Yeerongpilly, Brisbane centre and will open a new centre on the Gold Coast for the 2015 academic year. While the Centre focusses its practical work on boats we do not profess to be a boat building school, although our instructors are experienced in that trade, and graduates will have built boats from 5.5 metre to 12 metres during the program and could easily work in the marine industry. The reason we build boats is: -

Because they are interesting things to build Because they provide a great opportunity to work in the 2D and 3D dimension Because they provide both a curved and flat pack digital manufacturing experience Because they offer such a wide variety experience in materials and manufacturing techniques Because they provide a wide range of manufacturing skills. Because in Asia there is a developing boom by the emerging middle classes who will want to own recreational craft.

ADMISSION The Centre has 2 intakes per year, February and July. The course is conducted over 3 semesters. Each semester is six months duration so a student should not expect to complete the program in less than 18 months. While there is no prescribed minimum qualifications to enter the program it is expected that year 12 graduates or people with a trade or work background are the people who will most likely achieve graduation status. People without these qualifications however should not be deterred from applying and should apply if they think that they have the ability and motivation to succeed. The program is suitable for people who wish to reskill because of redundancy, their industry has moved off-shore, or because they wish a life style change. The program is limited to 15 students per intake. Some rolling start admissions may be made during the first semester if the individual has completed a trade or has completed a Certificate 2 in Engineering or Boating Services. Rolling starts will not be available beyond the first semester. Places for people with the requisite entry profile will be given in order of priority to those who applied for entry first. SYLLABUS The syllabus is formed from the Engineering Training Package MEM50105. The units for each semester and the associated practical work are attached. Competency must be achieved in all units for the diploma to be awarded.

Centre console designed, built, fitted, and wired by a student During the full diploma program you will be involved in the construction or fit-out of a 4 metre sailing dinghy, a 5.5 metre centre console runabout, a 12 metre cruiser, making a trailer for the 5.5 metre boat, fabricating all of the stainless steel deck hardware, installing motors and fitting 12v electrical components. Students will move from traditional hand skill development of the components through to computer aided manufacturing techniques to fabricate the boat or its furniture fit-out. You will make or refurbish plugs and moulds and use both hand skill and digital manufacturing techniques to achieve this.

Working with China During the diploma program students will be introduced to the way successful people in Australia have used China to make and export their products. The units are non-accredited and will be in addition to the prescribed units included in the syllabus. Students who wish to further widen their experience with China will be introduced and directed to the appropriate people on graduation.

STUDENT LIFE Diversity in Learning Career Guide One of the primary focuses Advanced Trade Training Centre is to provide students with a variety of learning situations. By integrating classroom work and hands-on experience, students learn both theory and practice and understand the value of making quick decisions on their own, balanced with the importance of being able to work as a team. This ensures that students walk away from their education fully prepared to tackle any situation. Centre Hours The Centre has formal and practical class activity from 8.30am to 4.00 pm Monday to Thursday. Friday is for home assignments and exam prep. The first semester commences on the first Monday in February and concludes at the end of June. The second semester commences the first Mid July and concludes one week before Christmas. The third semester commences on the first Monday in February and concludes at the end of June. Focus on the Student Students spend upwards of 40 hours per week working at the training centre, or in home study learning their craft, unlike traditional schools where students have class only a few hours per day. Because of the amount of time students spend in the classroom and in the practical work shop area, our teaching staff get to know the students very well. Students receive individual attention from instructors who are experts in their field and have a wide variety of knowledge to offer. This highly concentrated approach to learning and easy access

to instructors ensures that students have the best possible chance to graduate with the greatest amount of knowledge. Boats completed by students during the program will be available for use by the students provided they have the appropriate licence. Students will have the opportunity to acquire a boat licence during the program. Students may also purchase boats made at the Centre. The usual cost is materials plus 20%. All craft are sold as student projects. Course cost The cost of the diploma is set by the Queensland Government by prescribing the cost for each unit of competency. The total cost will change from time-to-time because of Government regulation. The current cost for the full diploma is $8000 per semester. A full diploma will cost $24,000. VET- FEE help will be available for students who wish to defer payment for the program until they are earning over $50,000 per year.
