In 2019, it became clear that the Australian labour market was undergoing significant changes. Workers needed engaging and stimulating training programs to help them close their skills gaps and enable them to pursue a brighter future. Industry needed skilled workers who could hit the ground running from day one. CTRA was established to address these pressing issues.
We offer value to both workers and companies in various industries, including waste and recycling, industrial services, defence, engineering, heavy manufacturing, civil infrastructure, and construction. Our high-quality training solutions:
We hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity, honour, quality, and commitment. We believe that investing in the best people, technology, and resources is key to helping our students and clients achieve their goals. If we cannot add value to your company or career, we will be transparent about it. We live by the principle of not hindering if we can’t help.
We believe that a one-size-fits-all approach does not work. We reject the generic training model. Instead, we deliver on our promises and stand behind our words and actions. Our aim is to exceed the expectations of our students and clients, and support them in achieving their goals.
Our meticulously crafted course structure and interactive learning environment gives our students ample time and opportunities to test and experiment with the equipment and paperwork used on real worksites.
Our carefully selected, fit for purpose equipment includes the most popular brands: MSA, LINQ, 3M, BAUER, SKYLOTEC and more. Our students acquire real-time skills that can be effortlessly deployed in their working environment.
Our purpose-built and engineer-certified training simulators enable our students to learn in a simulated real-life work environment, while providing our trainers the perfect platform to effectively simulate the training.
Our trainers are industry experts with extensive hands-on experience in their respective fields and a vast skill set that allows them to impart the appropriate type and specific knowledge to our students.
Our training programs are nationally accredited and recognised throughout Australia. Our students can take their qualifications with them if they moved inter-state, and our corporate partners can transfer staff from site to site with ease.
Our state-of-the-art training facility is conveniently situated in the heart of South-Western Sydney, providing easy accessibility to the main motorways and public transport.
Our sophisticated student management system gives our students and corporate partners real-time access to their training records, expiry dates, future courses, recommended refresher dates, and other relevant information.

A highly skilled trainer with extensive experience in the civil infrastructure industry. With a focus on underground asset refurbishment, maintenance and management, Diego is an expert in working in confined spaces and dangerous environments. His work in wastewater tunnels, where the atmosphere is filled with dangerous gases like H2S, carbon dioxide, and sometimes flammable gases has given him invaluable, first-hand experience in managing high-risk situations.
Diego’s expertise in high-risk training extends beyond confined space work and rescue. He is also skilled in creating isolation procedures and participating in site evacuation exercises.
His training methods are based on real-life examples that he has encountered during his career, making his instruction both practical and effective. Diego’s innate ability to teach students how to respond quickly and safely in case of an incident has earned him a reputation as a highly skilled, knowledgeable, and effective high-risk trainer.
Diego’s commitment to safety and his ability to communicate the importance of following proper procedures ensures that CTRA students understand how to work safely in dangerous environments, prevent incidents and injuries, and a range of other lifesaving skills. Diego’s students can trust that they are receiving the highest quality training available.
My favourite part was putting the harness on, using breathing apparatus, and self-rescuing out of the confined space which was very tricky. Very interesting training!
Corporate partnerships are a cornerstone of CTRA’s approach to training. They give us the opportunity to deliver effective, efficient training and work collaboratively with businesses. This gives our partners peace of mind that their workforce is safe, productive, and compliant. Through our corporate partnerships, CTRA can provide:
At CTRA, our approach to training is hands-on and immersive. Our simulated work sites enable students to experience real scenarios in a controlled environment. All of our training packages and equipment are custom-engineered, purpose-built, and certified to the highest possible standards, so students receive the most relevant, effective training possible.
By simulating real working environments, students are fully immersed in the training experience. Simulated sounds, temperatures, light, smells, and heights add to the realism of our training.
Students fill out risk assessment forms and SWMS, conduct gas testing, learn CPR, and rescue our trusty training dummy, Darryl, from a whole host of unsafe scenarios. This approach makes the training more memorable and a lot more fun. As a result, our students are fully prepared to work safely from the moment they step foot on-site.
We take pride in providing training that goes beyond traditional classroom learning. Our trainers are committed to creating a supportive learning environment that encourages students to ask questions and actively participate in the learning process.
Our trainers bring a wealth of practical knowledge gained from years of working on job sites. This means that they are uniquely qualified to teach learners how to navigate the challenges of a job site safely and effectively.
Our trainers are passionate about passing on their knowledge to the next generation of workers. They work hard to ensure that every student leaves our training programs with the skills and confidence they need to succeed in their chosen industry.
