PEER VEET

Great learning institution. Staff & trainers are super friendly and well informed. I am attending my GAP training as electrician with them and the feeling is that PEER wants you to succeed. Thank you to the trainers and keep up the good work. We really appreciate your efforts and assistance.

Disappointed in PEERs communication to my school leaver son seeking information regarding an apprenticeship in current covid environment. He contacted Peer at end of school and was told to come back when he got his driver's licence. He was booked into an skills assessment but didn't attend because his impression was he needed to get drivers licence first. Followed up April and told things are on hold but unlikely to be ever considered because of his failure to cancel earlier assessment. Son is already feeling defeated by current employment environment but correspondence and tone of PEERs communication has left him in a more distressed state. Well done Peer!!

Peer are paid by the government to train individuals, NOT to employ them. You will be used by employers for free labour with scant opportunity for ongoing employment. I completed a 2 month training position with PEER, which included a 2 week training period at an electrical firm, during which time I was largely unsupervised, or supervised by staff not fully qualified in electrical trade. In a Peer class of 14 students, only 3 participants successfully secured an on-going apprenticeship. This was, obviously, highly concerning for those students who had previously resigned from employed positions in order to purse an opportunity with PEER. My honest advice would be to proceed with extreme caution and to maintain a backup plan.

PEER can help the apprentice to find an apprenticeship??
