Standards Australia to conclude Standards Australia Training platform
Standards Australia is shutting down its Training platform and closing new enrolments. The platform was designed to deliver standards-aligned learning for industry professionals.
Where can tradies get standards-aligned training now that Standards Australia is closing its platform?
Builders, electricians, plumbers and other trades who used this platform for standards-based training will need to find alternative providers.
Key takeaways
- Standards Australia Training platform is closing and no longer accepting new enrolments.
- The platform was built to offer learning aligned with Australian standards.
- Tradies currently enrolled should check whether existing access will continue.
- Alternative training providers will need to be sourced for standards-based learning.
