With a dedicated client manager, simple online dashboards and streamlined processes you can manage all your organisation’s training and credentialing needs with minimal effort.
How we can help you
Engineering workforce credentialing
If your organisation’s goal is for engineering staff to become Chartered or to apply for NER or state registration, you’ll have a dedicated resource to work closely with you and your teams. We’ll help you:
- understand the capabilities in your engineering workforce
- scope your requirements and propose a partnership model
- create and activate memberships
- guide your employees through what they’ll need for their assessments
- conduct pre-assessments
- conduct interview assessments
- advise applicants of their assessment outcomes and formalise their credentials.
Our workforce credentialing program also enables you to gain a workforce-wide view of the skills and competencies in your talent pool. This invaluable information helps you to fill knowledge gaps and maintain a fully skilled workforce.

Corporate learning solutions
Our corporate learning solutions are delivered by our subsidiary, Engineering Education Australia. It provides multi-faceted training that can be delivered in person or online, as webinars, live virtual workshops or self-paced short courses.
EEA’s course catalogue is comprehensive with all content created by engineers and industry experts, so it’s always up-to-date and relevant.
Tailored training
We can customise training courses to meet your organisation’s specific needs. This means we work with you to understand what your teams need and then design targeted training to address the learning or development needs of your engineering staff. We also specialise in developing competency frameworks for your organisation.
Tailored training can be delivered online or face-to-face – or a mixture of both, at a time and location that suits your business. Learn more about tailored training for engineers.
Graduate development program
Investing in the professional development of your engineering graduates is an important way to attract and retain them.
Our program bridges the skills gap from university to the workplace.
