Known as the ‘Trade School of Excellence’ on Brisbane’s northside, the Australian Trade College North Brisbane or ATCNB, has a unique approach that sets us apart from other schools – we integrate Queensland’s Certificate of Education, the QCE curriculum, with trade training and apprenticeship services. We offer all this on the one campus at Scarborough, giving our students the best career start.
About ATCNB
The ATCNB is a purpose built, multi-million dollar, trade training, co-educational Year 11 and Year 12 independent school. We pride ourselves on the ability to provide a structured and well-supported trade and business focused curriculum, leading to strong QCE attainment and employment pathways. This is based on the philosophy that students can reach their potential through many and varied pathways. There is not just one way to reach your career goal.
Every opportunity – that will ‘Nail the Connection’.
