The Sunshine Coast campus is based at 170 Horton Parade, Maroochydore and is located next door to Sunshine Plaza.
Having opened its doors to 50 young people in July 2018, this three-storey campus now offers close to 200 young people an innovative industry education.
Easily accessible by bus from Noosa, Caloundra and into the hinterland, our campus was designed for quality education, with spacious, well-equipped classrooms and a modern auditorium that seats 120.
Located in the centre of the Maroochydore Business Hub, our young people regularly enjoy outings to the local Cotton Tree Park for basketball and table-tennis while a nearby gym provides space for our strength and fitness activities. Lively table-tennis competitions and handball tricks also keep students active during break times.

My name is Patrick and I’m the Acting Campus Manager for the Sunshine Coast Campus. My role is ensuring the best outcomes for students whilst on their journey with the AITC, in both education and industry. I also see my role personally to mentor students to develop them into being a better person and ultimately so a business or organisation sees value in them and wants to employ them. It also includes enabling staff to deliver great outcomes and further develop their ways in which they can contribute to higher levels for our students. My vision is to keep pushing the realm of how we can do better for all our stakeholders; to continually challenge our ways and stay abreast with industry. I believe change is inevitable when we are aligned to industry and we must keep adapting to this to ensure the AITC’s longevity and success into the future.
The Australian Industry Trade College is the leading senior school (Years 10-12) of choice for Brisbane, Gold Coast, Ipswich, Redlands, Sunshine Coast, and Toowoomba students wanting a work-ready education. With six campuses across South East Queensland, our students emerge from AITC with their high school certificate as well as a trade qualification of their choice, such as electrical apprenticeship, plumbing apprenticeship, hairdressing apprenticeship, or more. Practical industry skills and a positive employee mindset are what set our graduates apart.
