Bendigo TAFE
Technical Trades

The Technical Trades School delivers programs targeted towards ensuring industry have access to well trained, highly skilled, tradespeople. This may be through an apprenticeship or people refreshing their skills, to ensure they have the most current knowledge and work practices to bring to their workplace. All traditional trades are located within this School including: automotive, building and construction, engineering, electrical and electronics, plumbing and occupational health and safety.

Major capital works projects at the Charleston Road Campus in Bendigo have added two new buildings and upgraded our existing trade training facilities.

At the Echuca Campus, a new trades training wing includes engineering, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, welding and automotive workshop. These are linked to a central space where students and apprentices across all trades can take part in a variety of practical learning activities.
