Press Release - IAME Training and Education

IAME wishes to advise that contracted funding arrangements have now been granted in New South Wales

The Institute of Automotive Mechanical Engineers (IAME) has been an automotive association for greater than 90 years, expressly for the automotive practitioner specialising in many divisions such as Government advocacy, audits, products, sales, training and education. We have taken pride in offering niche training for more than 20 years with contextualized training being our forte.


As an expansion of our RTO (90409) the IAME wishes to advise that contracted funding arrangements have now been granted in New South Wales. This opens a new chapter for IAME, its members and indeed anyone from the automotive industry.


From 1st July 2023 IAME now offers fully funded training via NSW Smart and Skilled and for upskilling or dual qualifications we offer Trade Pathways for Experienced Workers. Our heritage in Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is still at the forefront of our offerings.
