A career in the building and plumbing industry is perfect for those who gain satisfaction from creating things with their own hands. With the expansion of industries such as forestry, gas and renewable energy, the demand for skilled building and plumbing tradespeople will continue to grow.

South West TAFE's building and plumbing courses provide the training you need whilst completing an industry apprenticeship. If you don’t have a job, don't worry - our pre-apprenticeship courses will prepare you for industry employment. We also provide programs for school students studying TAFE subjects as part of their VCE or VCAL.

You will be trained using the latest tools and equipment in our purpose-built facilities at Sherwood Park training facility and the Warrnambool campus.

All our teachers have industry experience and close ties with business networks, ensuring students gain the skills and knowledge that employers want.
