ATEC Academy is the home of a growing range of in-demand short-courses, or micro-credentials as they are now known.

It provides a clear entry point for the community and industry to access our micro-credential programs and to develop new skills in areas of need.

What is ATEC Academy?

For many years, ATEC has provided trade training in Metal Fabrication, Mechanical Engineering, Construction and Electrical, resulting in thousands of qualified tradespeople working throughout South Australian industry and making an immeasurable contribution to our economy. Alongside the four-year apprenticeships of the bigger part of our student population, ATEC offers many short courses in specific areas of need for schools, the general community and for industry.


The new ATEC Academy is not bricks-and-mortar, but it is the identity and the home of a growing range of in-demand short-courses, or micro-credentials as they are now known. The ATEC Academy provides a clear entry point for the community and industry to access our micro-credential programs and to develop new skills in areas of need, which includes such courses as:
