Our Story

Nepean Industry Edge Training (NIET) – pronounced ‘neat’ – is a quality-focused nationally accredited training organisation in Melbourne with strong industry connections, ensuring students develop relevant, job-ready skills.

Our training is modelled on a student-centred approach where learning is personalised and flexible. Featuring regular, in-person classroom time, dedicated student support days with trainers and ongoing email and phone support, we take pride in engaging, inspiring and motivating our students to realise their full potential.

Our trainers work actively in industry and are passionate about sharing their knowledge and expertise, meaning students receive up-to-date, hands-on training in their chosen field. NIET’s courses maximise the return on investment for students and employers, backed by high employment rates upon graduation.

We believe that with clear, supportive training, all students have the opportunity to succeed; making NIET an ideal choice for people such as career-changers and mothers returning to work who seek an exciting new future.
