Foundation Training

Foundation training programs provide trainees with the basic knowledge and skills needed for entry into a particular occupation. They are typically conducted in a classroom or shop setting, and do not involve any significant work-based training component. As a result, trainees do not require an employer/sponsor to participate.

Full time Foundation programs can vary from 13 weeks to 10 months in duration. Students will receive credit for the first level (some trades have 2 levels) of apprenticeship training in the specific field by the Industry Training Authority once they have successfully completed the Foundation program.
