--- title: News | APTC Media (28) description: "The Australia Pacific Training Coalition (APTC) is a training excellence and collaboration centre. It was announced as an Australian Government initiative at the Pacific Islands Forum in 2006 and welcomed by the Pacific Island leaders. As Australia’s flagship Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) investment in the region, APTC collaborates with national governments, development partners, the private sector, organisations for people with disabilities, civil society organisations, and Pacific TVET institutions in ten countries: Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Timor-Leste, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu. APTC also works closely with industry representatives around the region to ensure its training programs are relevant and aligned with current and future career opportunities for graduates – careers where skilled employees are in high demand. APTC offers Australian qualifications from Certificate II to Diploma level in various vocational areas. Highly regarded and qualified trainers deliver courses, and graduates will enjoy the benefits of an internationally recognised and accredited Australian qualification. APTC is an Australian Government initiative implemented by TAFE Queensland (RTO 0275) in partnership with the Pacific and Timor-Leste.
