Unlocking Potential: Massi’s Journey with BAA Towards a Builder’s Licence.

2/10/2023

Like many of our Students at Builders Academy Australia (BAA), Massi decided to study at BAA to help him climb the ladder and progress in his career. For Massi this meant obtaining his builder’s licence and BAA was the game-changing resource to help him get there. We met Massi to talk about how he got started with BAA and why he chose us to help him take the next step in his career. 

Tuition Fee Free – The Perfect Launchpad for Career Growth

Massi’s journey with BAA began with an internet search. Like any prospective student, he was looking for somewhere that wouldn’t just offer courses, but would also set him on the right career path. During this phase, he came across BAA’s Tuition Fee Free initiative, especially for Victorians. This initiative is more than just a financial relief; it allows aspiring students to focus purely on their educational journey without the burden of hefty fees. Massi seized this opportunity, diving headfirst into his Cert IV and later progressing to his Diploma, without the financial stress, thanks to government funding under the Victorian Skills First Initiative.

Mentorship Matters: Supportive Trainers at BAA

Behind every great student, there’s usually a brilliant teacher or two. The trainers at BAA? They’re top-notch. 

We can’t stress enough the importance we place on having a supportive educational environment. BAA’s team of trainers is not just equipped with the best industry knowledge, but they also bring to the table an unmatched level of support. Massi’s experience was no different. Our trainers are not just about textbooks and lessons; they share real-life stories from their days on the job. Anytime Massi hit a bump or got a bit lost, they were right there, helping him out.

During his time at BAA, he go heaps of guidance when he needed it.  Trainers are always available to clarify doubts, provide insights, or just offer words of encouragement. This mentorship was instrumental in bolstering Massi’s confidence, ensuring he was not just passing exams, but truly understanding and applying his knowledge.

What’s in These Courses Anyway?

Okay, a quick peek into what Massi went through. The Cert IV course is like a starter pack for would-be builders. It covers the basics, like how to manage a building project and deal with people in the industry. The Diploma, on the other hand, goes deeper into things like managing risks and making sure building projects are good for the environment and up to Victorian standards.

The Benefits of Studying In-Person and Online

There are so many benefits of studying online with BAA. Online study lets you self-pace your learning and be in charge of managing your own time. It also creates a work-life balance, so if you have family or other commitments, you know you have the time to give both your full attention.

One of the key benefits of in-person learning is the immediate feedback and guidance you receive from your facilitators. During in-person classes, you get the chance to ask questions, clarify doubts, and have meaningful discussions, all in real-time.

Is Government Funding Available for Me?

Eligibility for government funding can depend on various factors such as your citizenship status, the state you live in, and whether you are studying for the first time. Builders Academy Australia delivers some courses with the support of Victorian and Commonwealth Government funding to eligible students.

From Diploma to Dreams: The Road Ahead

With the completion of his Diploma on the horizon, Massi is already setting his sights on the future. Thanks to the skills and knowledge acquired at BAA, he aspires to become a residential site manager. The comprehensive training provided by BAA has not only prepared him for the immediate goal of obtaining his builder’s licence but has also laid a robust foundation for his long-term career aspirations.

In conclusion, BAA is more than just an educational institution. It’s a catalyst for dreams, ensuring every student, just like Massi, is equipped, encouraged, and empowered to take on the future. Whether it’s through initiatives like the Tuition Fee Free program or the unwavering support from trainers, BAA remains committed to helping students upskill and prepare for the next significant step in their careers.
