Highly recommend! The training provided flexibility to work in with our scheduling. The trainer was very knowledgeable and professional. The facilities and equipment were great.
Completed my NAT Gap training with Ausinet last week and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Shan was a great lecturer and he really made me feel at ease and explained things thoroughly. Sean was also very knowledgable of the whole process. Overall a great experience 🙂
I recently completed my instrumentation training with Ausinet, and it was a fantastic experience. The practical hands-on training sessions and real-world scenarios were excellent and really helped bridge the gap between theory and application. Big thanks to the instructors and support team for their clear guidance and well-organized program. Highly recommended for anyone looking to upskill in the trade!
I recently completed the Battery Design and Installation course. The theory component was completed online, followed by the practical training at their office in Darra. I found the course well structured and informative. The online theory allowed me to work through the material at my own pace, while the practical component was particularly valuable as it provided hands-on experience and helped reinforce what had been covered in the theory. The trainers were knowledgeable, approachable and happy to answer questions. Being able to work with the equipment during the practical training made it much easier to understand the design, installation and commissioning requirements for battery systems. Overall, I found the course very worthwhile and would recommend it to anyone looking to improve their knowledge and practical skills in battery design and installation.
Just completed my national GAP Training with Ausinet and highly recommend anyone needing to do so to book in a call with them. From the beginning the course is explained in detail and professionally by the team with all cost outlined from the get go with staged payments to make things easier. The online training is very informative and easy to follow and assessed on Fridays or Sundays with online exams. The Exemplar profiling, although daunting is made easy to follow by Ausinet and the admin team are at hand to assist if needed. The practical was a great week with lots to take in but Sean, Shan and the team helped us though it, wasn’t as bad as I was expecting but learnt a lot and feel a lot more comfortable with the Australian standards and how to navigate them. Looking forward to getting my Licence and career as a sparky in Aus. Thanks Ausinet and would recommend them to anyone looking to complete their GAP training when arriving in Aus.
Thank you to Sean, Shan and the rest of the team at Ausinet who have made my electrical gap training and capstone such a smooth process. The trainers answered all technical questions for the online learning very promptly, the admin team were great at answering any questions I had about my exemplar cards and the whole team made the capstone week very enjoyable and took all the stress out of it in the first hour. Made the trip from Perth to Brisbane based on a recommendation from a coworker and I’m glad I did! Highly recommend using Ausinet for anybody needing to transfer their international qualifications. Thanks guys👍🏼
The Battery Installation course was very interesting and the trainer Kevin was very helpful in completing all the coursework i had an excellent experience with Ausinet and would highly recommend for other installers go with them if they want to complete Battery Installation course.

I has Shan as my trainer for the week, he was engaging and clear to understand, the training provided was great! would recommend to others.
I completed the minimum context gap training course with Ausinet. Sean and Shan were brilliant throughout
Made the trip over from WA for my National Gap Training, and I'm so glad I chose Ausinet. Sean was super accommodating with getting me sorted, and Shan was an incredible instructor—thorough, approachable, and a great teacher. Top-tier training organisation that is definitely worth travelling for. 10/10!
I had a great experience completing the Electrical Gap Training course with AUSINET. Sean and Shan were excellent trainers—knowledgeable, supportive, and always willing to explain everything clearly. They made the course enjoyable and helped me feel confident throughout the training. I would highly recommend AUSINET and the Gap Training course to anyone looking to complete their Australian electrical qualifications.
I sat the Electrical Nat GAP training course and from day one it felt like Sean and the team were right behind me. From the first phone call I had with Sean I felt as if I would get through the course and receive my certification. Shan, who was my trainer was very knowledgeable and answered any questions myself or the group I was in fired at him. I highly recommend using these guys if you wish to obtain your licences.
Brilliant Training provider , I used Ausinet to complete my national gap training whilst transferring my skills over from the UK . Shaun makes the process incredibly clear and walks you through step by step and Sharn the lead trainer is brilliant when you go over to sit the course. Would definitely recommend !
I completed my Electrical Gap Training with Ausinet and had a great experience. The trainers and staff were knowledgeable, professional, and very supportive. Highly recommended!
I highly recommend the hybrid certificate 2 in Electrotechnology. I was able to learn the basics in my own time, with all the assistance when I needed. Then finish with the 1 week with the knowledge taught by great trainers and connected with actual electrician helping me to start my apprenticeship
The trainers were very friendly and knowledgeable and made me feel really welcome which i felt made it easier to learn. Would recommend to anyone looking to up-skill to give Ausinet a crack.
Matt and Ken the trainers are excellent and make sure you end up always understanding.
Awesome course and facilities, outstanding staff and training. Would recommend to anyone who'll listen.
Absolutely love Ausinet! Step by step theory and practical examinations that where clear and concise. The trainers are welcoming and very helpful. Learnt heaps and loved doing it. Definitely going back there and telling anyone else that wants to learn that these guys are awesome.
This was my first time completing a course with Ausinet, and I’ve been very happy with the entire experience — from my initial enquiry and communication right through to the completion of the course. Ausinet have developed a platform that provides excellent resources throughout the course, along with great support from the trainers. I’m already booking my next course. Thank you to the whole Ausinet team.
Trainer has a very experienced on electrical knowledge and understand how to teach students to go through all of the questions, although I have been working on electrical field for 35 years, but I still learning a lot from my electrical trainer.
Exceptional experience doing the Grid-Connected PV Design and Install course at Ausinet. The blended delivery model worked perfectly around my work schedule. The theory modules are incredibly thorough, and the face-to-face practical days gave us plenty of space, time, and high-quality gear to test our skills on. The trainers really know their stuff inside out and go above and beyond to support you. It's a great environment to learn in, and it prepares you fully for the accreditation process. Will definitely be back for the battery storage units!
It was fascinating to have had such a course that provided both theoretical and practical skills. Hands on experience was very productive. Well designed and structured. The staff was very professional and highly cooperative. Beneficial for potential learners.
The best part for me was being able to learn from home when I can fit it between family life and running a business. With very little free time, this worked with me to get me the learning i need to be able to grow
Really happy with the Solar PV course. The trainers were knowledgeable, approachable and explained everything clearly, especially the more technical parts of the course. The training was practical and relevant to actually working in the industry, rather than just focusing on getting through the assessments. Any questions I had were answered properly and the overall course was well organised. I came away feeling much more confident with solar PV design and installation. Would definitely recommend them to any electrician looking to complete their solar accreditation training.
Trainer had good knowledge of the course they were teaching. They have real word experience and could answer questing with this. The trainer challenged the class enough while teaching
The staff and trainers were extremely helpful and very accommodating, while the course itself was exactly what I was hoping for. One of the best courses I have attended, thanks guys!
