If you are exempt from providing an English test score, you may be required to provide evidence and/or complete an English Placement Test conducted by OCT.

OCT operates on a rolling intake timetable. Students can commence their course in any of the units and in any order, as these units do not have any pre-requisites. New students will be merged with older students in line with the trainer-to-student ratio adopted by OCT.

Textbooks are available in the library for you to read in your own time. However, you will be required to purchase your own from McGraw Hill to ensure you always have access. OCT can assist with arranging the textbook if needed, so please contact student support for assistance.

You will be provided with your own apprentice toolkit, which must be brought to all practical classes. A uniform will also be provided and must be worn for all workshop days.

You must purchase your own Safety Boots and bring them to each practical class. A timetable will be provided identifying the days for workshop-based training and assessment.
