You can also become a service station attendant through a traineeship in Automotive Sales. Entry requirements may vary, but employers generally require Year 10. Ask your career adviser about the possibility of starting some of this training in school.

Employment Opportunities
Service station attendants work in metropolitan areas and in country towns. Part-time work is often available. Shiftwork may be required, as there is a trend in some high-traffic areas for longer service station operating hours.
It is possible for service station attendants to be promoted to the positions of senior attendant and service station manager. Competent employees who have the necessary start-up funds may progress to their own dealerships.
