Mission and Vision

Empowering individuals, families and communities

Construction Trade Qualifications (CTQ) are an educational training provider on the Central Coast since being registered as an RTO in 2015. CTQ provides and promotes quality educational outcomes that create stability, growth and opportunities for individuals and their families, businesses and the greater community. We are committed to making a difference through partnerships with local communities and government departments, so that our learners know we are 100% committed to their educational needs.

Individuals

We care about our communities and the growth and stability that can come by tailoring qualifications and workshop educational packages to meet their expectations and goals. This means actively engaging with the younger emerging workforce to prepare them for their career in the industry and creating more opportunities for those looking for change and re-entry into a trade. We ensure there is a wide range of training experience in the construction sector, and always have an open-door policy where students can seek support after graduation.
We collaborate with local providers to ensure greater educational outcomes and employment opportunities are made available. This additional support means students will have access to a wide range of work placement opportunities, ongoing mentors, disability support and cultural sensitivity.
The younger emerging workforce

Businesses

Working locally, CTQ offers customised training and can generate educational pathways for employees that promote the objectives and goals of an organisation. We want to help improve the knowledge and compliance of your workforce and ensure that the educational outcomes match the requirements of your project.

Support for First Nations Students

CTQ acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands in which we work, live and deliver training. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and honour the ongoing cultural and spiritual connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to Country, culture and community. We are committed to providing a culturally safe, inclusive and respectful learning environment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
Our commitment to cultural safety
If you identify as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, you are encouraged (but not required) to let us know during enrolment or at any time during your learning. This allows us to offer support that respects your cultural identity, values and goals.
Support may include:
One-to-one support, mentoring or regular check-ins
Flexibility in learning or attendance where cultural obligations arise
Referral to trusted local Aboriginal Community-Controlled Services
Community Elders or support networks where appropriate and with your consent
If dedicated in-house support staff are not available, CTQ may work in partnership with local community organisations to connect you with culturally appropriate services and advice.
We aim to:
Ensure your learning experience reflects respect, inclusion and understanding
Value your lived experience, cultural strengths and knowledge
Provide a culturally responsive learning environment
Continuously improve based on feedback from First Nations students and communities
To discuss your support needs, contact our Administration Team or speak with your trainer in confidence. You are welcome here - your culture, your story, and your success matters.
