The Australia-Pacific Technical College (APTC) offers exciting training opportunities in the Pacific region that will open many new doors – training and educational opportunities that are rewarding, expanding, challenging, relevant and fun. Our goal is to make quality vocational training available to everyone from Pacific Island Forum countries.

As the APTC is an Australian Government initiative you’ll have the backing of an established qualification system – the same enjoyed by Australian students – one that offers portable qualifications of an international standing that will help you go places with your career.

Welcome to the APTC website. Please explore it fully. No matter what your interest in APTC is, I’m sure you’ll find the information here useful. I encourage you to contact a local APTC representative or myself if you wish to find out more about the college, its goals, its courses, its campuses and how to enrol.

Best wishes,

Mr Antoine Barnaart
General Manager
