Industry Placement and Live Works Training
We work closely with employers to provide you with relevant and up-to-date learning experiences. Many of our courses include work placements so you can apply your skills in a workplace setting to ensure you are ‘job ready’ when you graduate.
Challenger has a number of specialised training venues known as ‘live works’. These live works venues offer you hands-on industry-relevant opportunities beyond traditional learning avenues, in an actual work environment. These venues also have actual customers in the areas of beauty therapy, hospitality, hairdressing and fashion.
Study Support
Challenger Institute of Technology understands that it will be the first time for many of you to be away from home and/or family and for others, it may be the first time in a foreign country. For this reason Challenger invests a lot of effort in providing support for you while you are studying with us.
