Our qualifications range from pre-apprenticeships up to Diploma level and cover trades such as carpentry, plumbing, work health and safety and building and construction.

BAA was originally founded by the Simonds Group which includes Simonds Homes, one of Australia’s largest builder of detached housing in Australia. This allowed BAA great insight into employee and Industry focused educational delivery with an emphasis on the importance of meeting Industry needs.
