One of the hardest things for tradies who want to progress in their career is finding time to get the next level of qualification while working.
“To be able to get up, go to work, do a hard day’s yakka – it’s not an easy job that they do.”
Builders Academy Australia senior instructor Tansel Alici understands this. Not only because he’s worked in the industry for more than two decades, but because he studied at BAA himself.
After many years in the industry, Tansel has some simple advice for anyone who wants to upgrade their skill set.
We caught up with Tim Clark, a former carpenter who is now the general manager of a construction company as well as a trainer with us at Builders Academy Australia. Tim told us how he went from being an apprentice carpenter to a general manager with a builders licence, and he filled us in on how he translates his on-site experience to the Builders Academy classroom.
