The first round of MTA Queensland’s inaugural VET Trainer Scholarship has concluded, with an overwhelming response from over 30 applicants.

The Trainer Scholarship offers the opportunity for automotive professionals to further their careers by undertaking the TAE40116-Certificate IV in Training and Assessment Course – a course designed to teach the skills and knowledge required to deliver training in the vocational education and training (VET) sector.

Through the course, participants will learn skills in designing, conducting, and assessing training for the vocational sector, while also receiving knowledge in how to facilitate learning in various conditions and evaluate the impacts of various learning programs.

The course is open to individuals across Queensland, and MTA Queensland will provide the recipient with up to $2,500 towards the course, paid to the individual’s chosen Registered Training Organisation.

The recipient is selected off a range of criteria including automotive experience, communication skills and passion for training.

A short list of potential candidates will receive a phone interview, with the recipient for round one being announced on 1 April 2021.

MTA Queensland is very proud to be creating opportunities for those in the industry to move into the training sector and educate the automotive professionals of the future.

Nominations for the next scholarship round will open on 1 August 2021.
