Parents
As a parent, you want your child to have the best possible future. If they’re considering a traineeship or apprenticeship, you want them to have a good employer and the best chance of completing their training and earning a qualification.
All members of AEN(SA) are accredited by the State Government of South Australia for meeting National Standards for Group Training Organisations. These Standards include requirements for effective support of Apprentices and Trainees.
Group Training Organisations offer significant advantages which many other employers of apprentices and trainees aren’t able to provide.
