Construction Training

• Nationally Recognised Training
  Get trained in Victoria, work anywhere in Australia. We offer Nationally Recognised Training under the VET (Vocational Education and Training) quality framework. This means your qualifications are recognised all over Australia, allowing you to work in any state or territory you wish.

• World-class construction facilities
  CTI boasts one of Victoria’s greatest construction education facilities, including our world-class construction site simulation. We’ve got a firm belief that hands-on experience should be given to students before they land their first job on the site. That’s why we’ve invested so much energy into our construction site simulation, giving students the chance to hone their skills in all areas of construction and become masters before they’ve even graduated! From crane operation to earthmoving, our training site allows you to get a taste of real-life work on the construction site.

• Experienced, dedicated tutors
  Along with the best facilities, we also proudly hire the best and most experienced tutors. Our tutors have a reputation for being knowledgeable and experienced, but they’re also incredibly helpful, supportive and dedicated in their roles as educators. Through their guidance, you’ll learn how to become a weapon on the construction site, in any course you choose.

• Government-subsidised training
  We also offer certain eligible students government-subsidised training, and we encourage students with disabilities to apply for this. If you’re eligible, you could save a huge chunk of change on your tuition fees, letting you get qualified without a massive financial commitment.

• Variety of construction courses available
  At CTI, we know how important it is to be a versatile player on the construction site. That’s why we encourage our students to become all-rounders, and make the most of the variety of construction training courses on offer. From scaffolding to earthmoving to crane operation, we can train you to do just about any role on the construction site. We also offer qualifications like Cert IIIs in Civil Construction, helping you take your construction career to even greater heights.

• Refresher courses available
  Are you qualified but just need to redo your ticket or brush up on some skills? No worries – Construction Training International has got you covered. We have a range of refresher courses available, letting you get back into the swing of things. And, of course, we offer white card and yellow card training, too.

• Bringing the training to you
  Need workplace training at your worksite? CTI can accommodate for group trainings for employees, making it easy to get your staff qualified quickly and efficiently!

• Dogging: Our dogging course teaches you how to safely direct a crane operator and sling loads using hand signals and radio communication. You’ll learn all about load calculation, selecting lifting gear and directing crane operations.

• Rigging: Similar to dogging, rigging teaches you how to move, place, and secure loads using a bunch of different rigging equipment and techniques. You’ll learn about complex lifting operations, including using multiple crane lifts and installing/dismantling rigging equipment.

• Crane Operation: When you’re qualified in crane operation, you can safely operate mobile, tower, or vehicle-mounted cranes on construction sites. The course covers crane operation principles, load charts, risk assessment and emergency procedures.

• Scaffolding: Our scaffolding course teaches you how to erect, modify and dismantle scaffolding structures according to safety regulations. Students learn about different types of scaffolding, load calculations and fall protection systems.

• Forklifts: Get your forklift licence at Construction Training International. Our forklift course covers operation, load handling, workplace safety, pre-operational checks and manoeuvring in confined spaces.

• Earthmoving: This course teaches operation of earthmoving equipment such as excavators, bulldozers and loaders for construction work. You’ll learn everything you need to know about various earthmover operation, excavation techniques and workplace safety procedures.

• Elevating Work Platform (EWP): EWP training covers the operation of boom lifts, scissor lifts and other aerial work platforms for working at heights. The course includes platform selection, safe operation, emergency procedures and pre-start inspections.

• Certificate III Civil Construction: CTI also offers a Cert III in Civil Construction – a comprehensive qualification which prepares you for a career in civil construction. It covers everything from road construction to drainage systems and infrastructure projects. The program includes both theoretical knowledge and practical skills across multiple construction disciplines, including health and safety, plant operation and site management.

• Workplace Spotting: Our workplace spotting course teaches you how to safely guide and direct mobile plant equipment and vehicles around construction sites and other workplaces. You’ll get trained in communication systems, traffic management, and hazard identification.

• Marine Licence: Get your boat licence at CTI! This allows you to operate powered vessels in Australian waters, covering navigation rules, safety procedures and maritime regulations. The course includes both theoretical knowledge and practical boat handling skills.

• Other training: We also offer a variety of other nationally recognised and accredited courses. These include first aid training, white card training, working in confined spaces, working at heights training, and more.

Online course content

We like to keep your training flexible, with plenty of online content options across many of our construction courses. Construction training often involves theoretical course content, much of which can be done online. This allows students to keep their learning flexible – we won’t drag you all the way to class just to fill out a worksheet! 

On-site attendance

On-site attendance is another essential part of construction training. Since construction is such a hands-on industry, all your practical training will be done at our Riddells Creek construction simulation site (one of the best in Victoria). For these modules, on-site attendance means you get to experience what it’s really like to be on a construction site, giving you practical experience before you’ve even landed your first job. Your trainers will instruct you on how to operate industry-standard machinery and equipment on our top-class simulation site.

Mobile training available

If your company needs employing training at your premises, we can accommodate for this, too. Just contact CTI to discuss your options and ensure you’ve got the right equipment and facilities available

Options for rural and interstate students

Heading to Melbourne from a rural area, or from interstate? Construction Training International gives a warm welcome to all of our non-local students. We know what it’s like to come from so far away, and that’s why we also offer accommodation on-site. Options for on-site accommodation include our two-bedroom shared cabin at $80 per night and out Lake House for $120 a night.

Who can benefit from Construction Training International’s flexible training?

CTI’s flexible training options are perfect for a range of individuals and companies:

• Students without driver’s licences
  If it’s a struggle to get to Riddells Creek every day due to not having a licence, then online course content is preferable to these students.

• Students from far away areas
  If you’re living rurally or interstate, our on-site accommodation and online learning options make it easy for you to get qualified in construction.

• Companies with a large number of employees
  Companies can benefit from our ability to train employees at their own sites, rather than at ours.

Construction Training International is Victoria’s leading team in online and on-site construction training, helping Australians become experts in construction and secure better quality construction jobs. Reach out to our team about our flexible construction training options.
