At Axial Training, our mission remains clear: to equip learners with the skills, confidence, and professional connections to succeed in their chosen industries. Vocational Education and Training (VET) must deliver measurable outcomes for students, employers, and the wider community. The results from our 2024–2025 reporting period not only highlight Axial’s continued leadership in the sector but also reinforce our reputation for excellence in student achievement and employer partnerships.
1. Industry-Leading Qualification Completion Rates
In 2024, Axial achieved an overall qualification completion rate of 68.3%, significantly exceeding the Australian VET sector benchmark of 48.2%.
Faculty-specific highlights included:
-
Business (BSB): 88.24% completion rate in 2024
-
Health (HLT): 94.44% completion rate (Jan–Jun 2025)
-
Hospitality (SIT): 82.55% completion rate (Jan–Jun 2025)
These outcomes reflect the sustained commitment of our trainers, resilience of our students, and the strong learning partnerships developed with employers.
2. Advancing Gender Equity in Training
Diversity and inclusion remain core to Axial’s values. Across 2024 and 2025, female student completion rates consistently exceeded 78%, reaching a high of 80.43% in 2024. These achievements demonstrate the impact of creating supportive learning environments where women succeed in industries traditionally underrepresented by female participation.
3. Excellence in Fee-for-Service Education
Axial’s Fee-for-Service and Diploma programs achieved completion rates consistently above 98% over the 2024–2025 period. This exceptional performance reflects both the high levels of motivation among self-funded students and Axial’s personalised support model, which fosters persistence and success.
4. Benchmarking Beyond National Averages
Axial continues to deliver outcomes significantly above the national VET sector averages. For example:
-
Engineering: 61.0% (vs national average of 41.3%)
-
Food, Hospitality and Personal Services: 69.8% (vs national average of 44.2%)
This performance reinforces Axial’s standing as a provider delivering applied, real-world skills that translate into measurable workforce impact.
5. Strengthening Employer Partnerships
Employer collaboration remains fundamental to Axial’s delivery model. Since 2015, Axial has trained more than 10,500 apprentices and trainees in partnership with over 3,600 employers, including:
-
500 employers with more than five years of continuous engagement
-
A single employer who has placed 95 apprentices and trainees with Axial
These enduring partnerships ensure our students develop workplace-ready skills while supporting employers to build productive, skilled workforces.
6. Retention and Reduced Cancellations
Retention continues to be a key marker of quality. Axial’s provider-change cancellation rates remain significantly below sector norms:
-
2.0% in 2025
-
5.78% in 2024
These low cancellation rates demonstrate the trust placed by students and employers in Axial and reflect the security of our support systems.
7. Positive Outcomes for Commencing Students
Of all students commencing in 2025, 91.56% are either continuing with their studies or have already completed their qualification. Faculty-specific strengths include:
-
Health (HLT): 100% ongoing or completed
-
Business (BSB): 95.75% ongoing or completed
-
Hospitality (SIT): 92.97% ongoing or completed
These strong retention and progression indicators highlight Axial’s capacity to nurture student success from commencement to completion.
Looking Ahead
The future of vocational education requires a commitment to more than qualification attainment—it requires cultivating confident, capable, and employable individuals. Axial Training’s performance across 2024–2025 demonstrates our ability to consistently:
-
Outperform national benchmarks in achievement and outcomes
-
Strengthen industry capability through applied training partnerships
-
Empower students to achieve long-term career goals
As we progress through 2025 and beyond, Axial’s sustained focus remains centred on three pillars:
student success, employer confidence, and industry impact.
