Introduction

Introduction

Who We Are The MTA is the only employer-based organisation dedicated to supporting, growing and protecting the automotive retail, service and repair sectors across South Australia and the Northern Territory.

As South Australia’s leading body for automotive apprentice employment and training, we play a pivotal role in preparing the motor trade industry for the future.

Our Group Training Organisation is the state’s leading provider of automotive apprentice employment and training. We employ more than 450 apprentices and trainees and deliver training to over 1,100 apprentices through our state-of-the-art training centres located in Royal Park and Cleve.

MTA Training and Employment is a leader in hybrid and battery electric vehicle training, launching South Australia’s first dedicated Electric Vehicle Training Centre in June 2023. Since then, we have upgraded our Royal Park facility to meet the growing demand for EV skills.

We have also invested in state-of-the-art automotive refinishing facilities to give apprentices the best hands-on learning

experience in the country. In November 2025, we launched our new Alpha E Low Bake spray booths with an immersive classroom in between the spray booths — the only ones of their kind in Australia — featuring energy-efficient heating and rapid air-drying technology to deliver next-generation training in automotive refinishing.

In an Australian first, we introduced the nation’s first and second automotive dual trade apprenticeships, Light Vehicle Mechanical Technology and Automotive Electrical Technology, and Heavy Commercial Vehicle Mechanical Technology and Automotive Electrical Technology. In July 2025, a third dual trade apprenticeship in Agricultural Mechanical and Automotive Electrical was launched.

As the winner of Large Training Provider of the Year 2025, MTA Training and Employment remains dedicated to being the best in developing the next generation of South Australian automotive apprentices. We’re helping to build a bright future for the state’s automotive industry.

Automotive Apprentice Training

Automotive dual trade apprenticeships FAQs I currently have an apprentice – can I transfer them to the dual trade program?

Yes, you can. If your apprentice is pursuing a light vehicle, heavy vehicle, agricultural mechanical or automotive electrical apprenticeship, they can transfer to a dual trade.

What year does my apprentice need to be in to transfer to a dual trade apprenticeship? Is there a cut-off year for this?

We recommend that students in their first or second year can transfer without any disadvantage in most cases. However, students in their third or fourth year will need to be assessed individually to determine if they will be disadvantaged. In such cases, we may recommend they complete their current apprenticeship before starting MTA Training and Employment’s Qualified Technician Program. Students transferring from other RTOs will also need to be assessed individually.

How long does the dual trade apprenticeship last?

The term is 5 years, or 60 months. This is 1 year longer than traditional apprenticeships.

What is the apprentice salary/award payment for the 5th year?

We recommend 95% of the current award rate for qualified technicians. The 4th year is currently calculated at 88% of the current award rate for qualified technicians.

What qualification will an apprentice receive upon completing the dual trade?

An apprentice will receive two qualifications upon completion of their dual trade: Light Vehicle Dual Trade: AUR30620 Certificate III in Light Vehicle Mechanical Technology and AUR30320 Certificate III in Automotive Electrical Technology.

Heavy Vehicle Dual Trade: AUR31120 Certificate III in Heavy Commercial Vehicle Mechanical Technology and AUR30320 Certificate III in Automotive Electrical Technology.

AUR30420 Certificate III in Agricultural Mechanical Technology and AUR30320 Certificate III in Automotive Electrical Technology

How much extra time, compared to a traditional apprenticeship, is my apprentice required to spend outside of my workshop?

Light Vehicle: 20 blocks of training VS Dual Trade LV/AE: 23 blocks of training.

Heavy Vehicle: 20 blocks of training VS Dual Trade HV/AE: 26 blocks of training.

Agricultural Mechanical: 21 blocks of training VS Dual Trade AG/AE: 27 blocks of training.

Automotive Apprentice Training

What is the situation regarding supervision in the workshop for dual trade apprentices?

Current supervisor ratios remain the same (high 1:3), but each workshop must have a suitably qualified or experienced Light or Heavy Vehicle or Agricultural Mechanical Technician and an Auto Electrician.

My employer is already registered to employ apprentices in light vehicle, heavy vehicle, agricultural mechanical and automotive electrical trades.

What steps do they need to take to employ a dual trade apprentice?

All registered employers must log into their MySkillsSA account and apply to become a registered employer for the dual trade. Even if they are already registered for both trades individually, they will still need to update their registration to include the dual trade.

How can I get a qualified automotive electrical tradesperson if my business does not currently have one?

You can upskill a current Light Vehicle, Heavy Vehicle or Agricultural Mechanical Technician to an Automotive Electrical Technician through MTA Training and Employment’s Qualified Technician to Automotive Electrician Program in as little as 6 months. This needs to be completed under a feefor-service arrangement, as you cannot have a supervisor under an apprenticeship supervising an apprentice. For more information, visit: https://members.mtasant.com.au/training-courses/upskillingtraining/qualified-tech-to-auto-electrician-program/

Is a dual trade apprenticeship government-funded like a traditional apprenticeship?

Yes, it is. Employer and Apprentice incentives may be available under the Commonwealth Government’s Australian Apprenticeships Incentive Scheme https://www.dewr.gov.au/skills-and-training (Contact your Apprenticeship Connect Australia Provider (ACAP) for further details).

Are there any subsidies for apprentices doing the dual trade?

Apprentices may be eligible for incentives of up to $10,000 under the Commonwealth Government’s New Energy Apprenticeships Program https://www.dewr.gov.au/australian-apprenticeships/resources/ new-energy-apprenticeships-program-flyer (Contact your AESN for further details).

Does my apprentice finish one apprenticeship (for example a light vehicle apprenticeship) and then move onto the other apprenticeship (automotive electrical)?

No, these dual trades are completed concurrently to ensure a continuous flow of learning, allowing apprentices to build their skills progressively and add value to your business immediately.

Automotive Apprentice Training

What are the next steps and how do I transfer my apprentice to a dual trade apprenticeship?

Apprentice Directly Employed by Industry If you directly employ your apprentice, you will need to contact your Apprenticeship Connect Australia Provider (ACAP) to complete the transfer of qualification form.

The New Automotive Refinishing Centre of Excellence Launched November 2025 1. Australia’s only Low Bake Alpha-E paint booths

2. Next-generation efficiency and performance

MTA Training and Employment is home to the only Low Bake Alpha-E spray booths in Australia. This state-of-the-art technology provides apprentices with hands-on training using the same advanced systems found in leading global repair facilities.

With rapid air-drying and lowbake functionality reaching up to 80°C, the booths deliver up to 40% faster bake times and significantly lower energy consumption than conventional systems.

3. Smart monitoring and carbon tracking Each job automatically produces an emissions report electronically recorded, helping apprentices understand and measure energy use and carbon output — a first step toward embedding sustainability in every stage of refinishing training.

Paint Mixing Room Equipped with PPG Envirobase, Standox and DeBeer systems, MTA Training and Employment is the only Registered Training Organisation in Australia offering training across all three, giving apprentices hands-on experience with both solvent and waterbased technologies while promoting correct product application and brand versatility.

Featuring QR-coded barcodes that link directly to Technical Data Sheets and application videos,

along with tablets equipped with paint recognition apps, giving apprentices instant access to product information, data sheets and instructional resources for a fully interactive learning experience.

Real-time monitoring collects data on individual product use and application techniques, while weekly reports help apprentices measure progress, build product awareness and refine their skills through practical, data-driven feedback.
