Apprenticeship training with experienced training providers


An apprenticeship is an opportunity to earn an income while you learn a trade. You’ll combine real-world practical experience with your employer and industry-relevant learning through Inscope Training to graduate with a nationally-recognised trade qualification.

Inscope Training works with your employer to deliver competency-based training and assessment and provides you with learning and wellbeing support to keep you on track.

With access to high-quality learning resources, purpose-built training centres and industry experienced trainers, you’ll come out of your apprenticeship a confident and qualified tradesperson.

What is an apprenticeship?

A trade apprenticeship is a paid job that combines training with on-the-job experience to gain a qualification to work as a tradesperson. While your employer and supervisor support your day-to-day, hands-on learning on the job, Inscope provides theory training and assessment and practical gap training and assessment — either in-house or on location — to ensure you meet all the requirements of your qualification.

An apprenticeship usually takes four years to complete and on successful completion you’ll have a nationally-recognised trade certification.

QLD apprenticeships are regulated by the Queensland Government Department of Trade, Employment and Training and NSW apprenticeships are regulated by Training Services NSW.




How to become an apprentice

Are you interested in becoming an apprentice, but not sure of the process? We’ve broken it down into three easy steps:

1 Find an employer who’ll hire you as an apprentice.

You can search for apprentice job openings by:

  • Speaking to your school’s career counsellor or vocational education and training (VET) coordinator
  • Searching through job ads
  • Asking your personal networks
  • Contacting a jobactive provider
  • Connecting with an Apprentice Connect Australia Provider (ACAP)
  • Contacting Inscope Training.

2 Complete a training contract with your employer.

You and your employer will meet with an Apprentice Connect Australia Provider (ACAP) to complete the training contract, which is a legal agreement between you and your employer.

During this step, choose Inscope Training as your Supervising Registered Training Organisation (SRTO).

3 Start your apprenticeship and on-the-job training.

You’ll start work onsite with your employer, learning the qualification in your day-to-day activities and complete the qualification training and assessments with Inscope Training.

Who does what in an apprenticeship?

There’s four of us involved in an apprenticeship – you, your employer, us as your Supervising Registered Training (SRTO) provider and your Apprentice Connection Australia Provider (ACAP).

Here’s what we all do and how we work together:


You

  • secure an apprenticeship with your employer
  • choose your preferred RTO and ACAP (your employer may also do this, or you can choose together)
  • work for your employer on their jobsite, attend gap training and assessment sessions as scheduled and complete online tasks to pass each module.

Your employer

  • agrees to take you on as an apprentice
  • pays your wage while you work for them and train for your qualification
  • provides you with on-the-job training and experience on their jobsite.

Inscope Training

  • works with your employer to set up your training plan
  • delivers a combination of practical gap training in our training centres or on location with our mobile training unit or on your employer’s jobsite, with self-paced online theory
  • keeps track of your progress and supports you through any issues or challenges with your training
  • assesses your competency in the skills you've learnt
  • upon successful completion, issues your trade qualification.

Your ACAP

  • Works with you and your employer to set up your employment and training contract
  • Provide advice on your options or opportunities for training
  • Supporting you to claim any financial incentives that may be available
  • Providing support and pastoral care to resolve any issues that may arise throughout your training
  • Helping you to make changes or complete your apprenticeship



What does it cost to do an apprenticeship?

Because an apprentice is a paid employee, you’ll receive a wage from your employer. You can find out more about apprentice wages and entitlements from the Fair Work Ombudsman.

Training Costs

Inscope Training delivers apprenticeship training through subsided funding from the Queensland and New South Wales state governments. The state governments provide a public funding contribution towards the cost of training and assessment services for eligible apprentices. This is paid directly to us as per the arrangements set by your relevant state government.

For Queensland funded apprentices, in some cases, you or your employer may still need to pay a small co-contribution (gap) fee. This fee is set by the state government and must be paid to us prior to commencing a unit. Inscope Training does not charge fees other than the co-contribution fee (if applicable).

Choose your preferred qualification to find out more about the funding eligibility and co-contribution fees (Queensland only) that need to be paid (if applicable):

Many awards and employment contracts have entitlements for training costs, fees and textbooks. You may be eligible for your employer to pay or reimburse your co-contribution fee. Check your award or employment contract to find out if you are eligible.


Tools

You’ll also need to buy all your tools for the job. Speak to your ACAP to see what financial incentives are available to purchase tools.
