Our Transformation: From TPM to CTPM.edu.au
Today, we have transitioned into a comprehensive Registered Training Organisation (RTO) specializing in safety, construction, transport, and all trade qualifications. Our primary goal is to provide accessible training opportunities, often funded, to empower underskilled workers to enter the workforce with minimal financial burden.
At CTPM, we remain dedicated to driving positive change in the industry, ensuring that individuals have the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in their chosen fields.
