Why should I do a Blended Learning Online & Instructor-Lead Internship over a traditional on-site internship?
-
1. Keep Your Job While Gaining Local ExperienceIn-person internships require you to commit to office hours, meaning you often have to quit your casual job or reduce your hours, which cuts into your main source of income.With our online internship, you don’t have to make that sacrifice. You can keep earning money while completing designing and drafting of real-life projects step by step, with the guidance of a senior structural engineer who is active in the field, through simulation, interactive videos and weekly live online meetings. You gain the required professional skills and local experience without losing financial stability.
-
2. Real Projects, Step-by-Step GuidanceIn most in-person internships, you won’t actually get to work on projects. Why? Because you’re not yet independent. For a senior engineer to stop their own work and train you, it costs the company time and money. And with projects to deliver and strict deadlines, companies simply can’t afford to slow down.That’s why interns often end up doing repetitive or admin-style tasks instead of meaningful engineering work.In our online internship, it’s the opposite. You’re given real-life projects from the start, and every stage of the design is explained and demonstrated by the instructor, who is a senior structural engineer active in the field, through simulation, interactive videos as well as weekly live online sessions/meetings. You design each stage of the projects yourself, then compare your design outcome directly with the instructor’s process, fixing mistakes early and learning how things are done to Australian Standards (AS/NZS). This way you’re actually building the in-demand skills to be job-ready.
-
3. Structured Tasks vs. Random TasksIn many in-person internships, what you get exposed to depends on whatever tasks happen to be available in the office at the time. That could mean filing documents, or doing small drafting changes. Tasks that don’t teach you the core technical skills you need as a structural engineer. Because companies have their own deadlines and priorities, they can’t always guarantee that interns get meaningful design exposure and training.Our online internship program removes that uncertainty. We’ve built a planned, structured plan and curriculum that ensures you progress through the key stages of residential structural design, from footing systems, bracing layout and framing elements to roof elements. Everything is mapped to Australian Standards (AS/NZS) and reflects the exact Design & Construction processes used in industry. That means instead of hoping you’ll “pick up” relevant skills, you’re systematically trained, step by step, in the knowledge and skills that make you employable.
-
4. Weekly Check-Ins & Interview PreparationIn many in-person internships, interns rarely get structured feedback. Senior engineers are too busy delivering projects to spend time reviewing your work in detail, so you may finish your placement without knowing whether you’re on the right track.Our online internship flips that. Every week, you join a live online group session where the instructor, who is a senior structural engineer, personally reviews your designs, points out mistakes, and shows you how to correct them. Beyond technical feedback, these sessions are also designed to prepare you for real interview situations. You’ll practice explaining your thought process, handling technical questions, and engaging in problem-solving discussions, so when you face employers, you’ll already know how to confidently present your skills.
-
5. Confidence in CommunicationA big reason many talented graduates and migrant engineers miss out on jobs is also a lack of confidence in communication. In-person internships rarely address this. You might quietly observe how things are done but never get coached on how to speak about your own work.Our program makes this a priority. You’re trained not just to do the design but to explain your design decisions clearly and professionally, using industry language and Australian Standards (AS/NZS) as your backing. This skill, being able to stand your ground in technical conversations, is one of the biggest differentiators when it comes to securing interviews and landing jobs.
-
6. Flexible & Accessible AnywhereTraditional internships often mean committing to office hours in a specific location. For many students and migrants, that can mean long commutes, relocation, or even giving up a part-time job that’s helping pay the bills.With our online internship, there are no geographical or scheduling barriers. You can participate from anywhere in Australia while continuing with your current job or studies. Training materials are accessible on your own time. This allows you to build professional experience without sacrificing financial stability or personal commitments.
-
7. Guaranteed Outcomes & RecognitionOne of the biggest frustrations with in-person internships is uncertainty. Will you get meaningful tasks? Will you walk away with something that actually strengthens your CV? Too often, the answer is no. That’s because companies are businesses. They need to generate profit to survive. They simply can’t dedicate weeks of their time to fully train you. So interns often end up doing small or repetitive tasks without gaining much career value.Our online internship changes that. Every trainee is guaranteed to:- Design and Draft real projects from start to finish, step by step, based on AS/NZS, using Structural Toolkit, SpaceGASS and AutoCAD.- Graduate with an Australian design portfolio to showcase on your CV and in your interviews.- Receive a Professional Digital Certificate, showing the potential employers and recruiters the in-demand skills and knowledge you've gained.- Join a support network of engineers for ongoing guidance and career connections.This way, you don’t just “spend time” in an internship, you come out with local experience, tangible proof of your skills, confidence in your knowledge, and a clear path into the industry.

"Having recently finished my degree and never got a chance of working on any real-life projects after graduated. This course had provided the knowledge and skills that able to fill the gap between the fresh graduate structural engineer and the workplace. The contents of the course were well organized and explained. She also shared some of her work experiences during the course. I would highly recommend anyone with the same issue as me to take this course."

"Moly is a great teacher. She really cares for her students/trainees. She relates everything that she teaches to actual practice in the field of Structural Engineering.
This course has boosted my confidence to successfully complete real life projects from start to the end based on Australian Standards and Codes."
Maryam - ACT
"The experience and knowledge gained from this course were above all expectations. The course was well structured and detailed. The steps created to design a single storey were clear and reinforced throughout the course. The most impressive part of the course was the ability of the trainer to tie together the construction and design knowledge. She was able to provide insightful details about common designing mistakes that inexperienced engineers can make because of the lack of knowledge about common construction materials and architectural limitations."
