Keep earning while you learn. Our nationally recognised building and construction courses are 100% online and completely self-paced — designed for tradies and professionals who cannot put their career on hold. Study on your phone, tablet, or laptop, whenever it suits you.
Putting your career on hold to study is not realistic for most people in the building industry. Bills do not stop, and neither should your income. That is why Prepare Training delivers every course 100% online with no fixed timetable — so you can upskill without sacrificing a single day of work.
Better yet, working while you study means you can apply what you learn immediately. The projects you manage on Monday become the evidence you submit on Tuesday. Your workplace becomes your classroom. If you are working toward a builder's licence, this flexibility means you can keep earning while you qualify.
No live lectures. No campus visits. No set class times. Here is how our flexible online study model works in practice.
Pick your qualification, complete the enrolment form, and get instant access to your learning portal. No waiting for semester start dates — begin whenever you are ready.
Log in from your phone, tablet, or laptop. Work through modules at your own pace — early mornings, lunch breaks, evenings, or weekends. You set the timetable.
Complete and submit all assessments through the online portal. Many assessments draw on workplace scenarios you are already dealing with day to day.
Once all units are marked competent, your nationally recognised qualification is issued. Use it to apply for your builder’s licence or step into a supervisory role.
Our students are not school leavers sitting in lecture halls. They are working adults with mortgages, families, and commitments. If any of these sound like you, our flexible courses were built for your situation.
Carpenters, bricklayers, and other tradespeople looking to move into building supervision or get their own builder’s licence without leaving the tools.
Already running sites but need the formal qualification to match your experience? Get qualified while you continue managing projects.
Moving into building from another industry? Study in the evenings and weekends while keeping your current income. No need to quit your job to retrain.
Returning to formal study after years in the workforce? Our self-paced model lets you move at a speed that suits you, with support every step of the way.
