3-Month Traineeship Program - Structural Engineer
"I secured my first job as a structural engineer by the time I completed my training program with LearnPedia. I obviously didn't have any local experience and it was impossible to get any job interviews with no local experience. Especially having no knowledge of the Australian design codes and no practical experience with the software packaged. Trying to get a job was very difficult. The 3 Months Traineeship Program at LearnPedia helped me because they gave me three real-life projects to work on, from start to finish, and they became my design portfolio. We had weekly Q&A sessions on Tuesdays at 6:00 pm, and because it was after hours, everyone could attend, and Moly would check the projects that we were working on in the training program and provide us with feedback. In my job applications and interviews, I got to showcase my portfolio of real-life structural design projects based on AS/NZS." "I wasn't sure if the program would be right for me because I was working full-time. But I could manage it because I had 24/7 access to the program for 6 months to watch the training videos before or after work. I had access to the software packages such as Structural Toolkit, SpaceGASS and AutoCAD and the codes to practice with them. So it was very easily manageable."
"Don't waste your time, go for it" "I waited a while to come across it, so don't be me. Just go for it"

3-Month Traineeship Program - Structural Engineer
"After joining the traineeship program, my hopes of getting hired shifted from absolutely hopeless to very optimistic. Previously, I applied for numerous jobs without success due to gaps in technical knowledge, experience, and resume/interview skills. This program built my confidence and provided outstanding, comprehensive content on designing timber residential buildings. The three real-life projects helped me build an Australian portfolio, which was critical in overcoming my lack of local experience and familiarity with software like Structural Toolkit and SpaceGASS, as well as Australian Standards and Codes. Unlike other internships, this training program offers extensive one-on-one guidance and years of field experience in a structured, step-by-step format. Moly’s detailed explanations make it easy to follow, even for those without previous timber construction experience, like me." "Stop wasting time, start today, and you won't regret it. The sooner you start, the sooner you will get hired just like me!"

3-Month Traineeship Program - Structural Engineer
"The course provides you with knowledge and skill about Australian residential dwelling design that I feel would require 5 years of experience to gain within a very short period of time which has been made possible by our very knowledgeable course trainer, Moly, by delivering the course very professionally and with her heart in an exceptionally detailed manner. As a student enrolled in the Design of Single Storey Dwelling Course, I feel the course not only clearly explains about the basics of structural engineering design of single-storey designing but also teaches you to tackle the real-life complications that will be experienced by you in your future workplace. The tricks that Moly teaches in this course will make you more effective and productive, which will enhance your performance at the workplace and help you stand out."

"The content was very good, organised and well explained. I specifically like the way in which Moly tries to explain the reason behind various aspects rather than just following code provisions. This has helped me to put some strain in my brain and think of the probable reasons. She is very friendly, enjoys teaching and has a lot of patience to re-explain topics which are confusing. For a person like me who has newly migrated to Australia and is new to timber construction, this course would help a lot. I enjoyed a lot participating in this course."

"The experience and knowledge gained from this course were above all expectations. The course was well structured and detailed. The steps created to design a single storey were clear and reinforced throughout the course.  The most impressive part of the course was the ability of the trainer to tie together the construction and design knowledge. She was able to provide insightful details about common designing mistakes that inexperienced engineers can make because of the lack of knowledge about common construction materials and architectural limitations."

FAQs

What are Blended Learning Online & Instructor-Lead Internship?

Are internships that are done online or remotely. You are placed with a company and have a supervisor that you report to. You are in contact with the supervisor/trainer via virtual methods such as email, instant messenger and LMS. Blended learning is the most effective and comprehensive form of training delivery. This facilitates a number of learning modes and styles which means that learners are more likely to get their needs met and be fully challenged in the learning process.

Is this ONLY industry-specific Internship in Australia for Structural Engineers based on Australian Standards (AS/NZS)?

ONLY customised Internship that is industry-specific in Australia for Structural Engineers developed by industry experts and based on Australian Standards (AS/NZS). LearnPedia, with the help of its Structural & Civil Engineering consultancy partner, has designed and developed this Internship to make sure you gain specific experience. Any old internship won't do. If you want a good job after graduating or arriving in Australia, you must get a useful internship, and this is it. In our Internship, you'll learn from projects broken down and explained to you to ensure you get an in-depth understanding of your projects' design steps and challenges.

As part of your virtual internship, you will follow our online internship curriculum, which includes 3 group sessions with an assigned internship coach.
The Start Point Check-In: You'll be assigned two real-life projects to work on. As you design each stage of the project, you'll get to see the trainer designing and explaining the same stage of the design through Simulation and Interactive Training Videos. This gives you the opportunity to check your design and correct any inaccuracies and miscalculations before moving on to the next stage of the design.

The Midpoint Check-In: The Midpoint Check-In is an online conversation that will review your projects and assessments, as well as asking some guiding questions designed to create a dynamic interactive discussion about your internship thus far and steps to take to make the second half a success while planning for the program end and next steps.
