Kangan Batman TAFE has built a new state-of-the-art centre for training in transport, logistics and warehousing.
The new $3.8 million Transport and Logistics Centre was funded by the Australian National Training Authority and will support the State Government’s vision for Victoria to become the state of supply-chain excellence and the gateway of choice.
Based at the TAFE’s Broadmeadows campus, the Transport and Logistics Centre will assist in this aim by offering comprehensive, integrated training and services for the industry.
Covering 1400 square metres, the centre features a heavy vehicle driving range, mini warehouse, loading dock and overhead crane.
The centre provides training for all areas of the transport and logistics industry, including warehousing, dock-loading, forklift driving, computer training, dangerous goods and confined space training, crane and elevating work platform operation, dogging, training in motor vehicle driver instruction, and taxi and heavy vehicle licence testing.
The construction of the centre is part of Kangan Batman TAFE’s commitment to supporting Victoria’s broader transport systems and associated manufacturing and service sectors.
Kangan Batman TAFE is Victoria’s major training provider for the automotive and aerospace industries, and highly-regarded for its transport and logistics and manufacturing training.
