TAFE NSW – Northern Sydney Institute (NSI) has delivered the first Certificate I in Construction specifically contextualised for the blind and awning industry.
Newly introduced legislation requires those within the blind and awning industry to complete the Certificate I in Construction.
NSI recently trained a group of eight Aluxor Awning Systems employees and retail distributors, focusing on content specifically relevant to the blind and awning industry such as fixtures, fittings, tools and equipment, joinery skills, repairing damaged gyprock, glass cutting, accurate measuring and cutting.
Aluxor is a leading manufacturer of sun-shade systems in Australia.
Marcus McAdam, Director of Aluxor Awning Systems said NSI provided an excellent course, tailored to meet Aluxor’s particular business needs.
“NSI provided a course that was the right level for our participants.
"It not only met the new legislative requirements but was tailored to address specific industry issues we had,” said Marcus.
“Whilst it was a standard course, it was tailored to recognise the pre-learning and existing knowledge many of the participants had.
“There was also a high degree of flexibility with NSI.”
