Who We Are
About Academia of Trade
Academia of Trade is a Government-Approved Private Registered Training Organisation (RTO) founded in Sydney, Australia. We deliver nationally recognised vocational education and training across four key disciplines: Trades, Information Technology, Hospitality, and Business & Management.
We were built on a straightforward belief: that education should lead directly to employment. Not just a certificate on a wall, but real skills, real confidence, and a real pathway into the workforce.
Our campus is based in Parramatta, in the heart of Western Sydney, with a purpose-built trade workshop facility in North Rocks.
We serve a diverse community of domestic and international students who come to us to reshape their futures, earn recognised credentials, and take the next step in their careers.
