Outer Northern Trade Training Centre (ONTTC)
The Outer Northern Trade Training Centre (ONTTC) is a trade training centre that provides secondary school students in and around the Northern suburbs the opportunity to enrol and complete vocational training in four trades: Automotive, Building & Construction Carpentry, Electro-technology and Plumbing.
ONTTC commenced operations in January 2013. It is a state of the art facility with modern training equipment that reflects the needs of industry.

The construction training area has a generous layout for 20 or more students providing dedicated workbenches, a machine shop complete with thicknesser, table and radial saws. There is an undercover outdoor area that allows the construction of a model house including walls, roofing and subfloor set out. Also there are four model houses that allow the carpentry students to work on windows and doors.
