Where on-campus attendance is required to complete practical learning and assessments, student numbers are being managed to ensure social distancing can be observed.

Entry requirements

Entrance Requirements/Pre-Requisites

  • Applicants must be trade-qualified within the metal, engineering, manufacturing and associated industries or at equivalent levels in other industries where engineering tradespeople work.
  • ACSF level 3

Pre-training review:
The Gordon is committed to ensuring all students have access to the educational and support services they may need while studying. We do this by carrying out a pretraining review that is integrated with the application and enrolment process. For most courses, this review also includes a short literacy and numeracy assessment relevant to the course. The outcomes of the pretraining review assist our teachers and trainers to better understand each student’s capabilities prior to training and enable all students to be matched to the right program for them.

Literacy and numeracy
Applicants are expected to have an appropriate level of literacy and numeracy skills, which will be evaluated via a literacy and numeracy assessment during the application process.
