NSW apprentices including school-based, receive fee free training under the NSW Government's Smart and Skilled program for apprentices whose training commenced after 1 July 2018
Trade based apprenticeships within Queensland and New South Wales are deemed to be competency-based, not time-based. So whilst a full time apprenticeship usually takes four years to complete, it can be completed at any time throughout the apprenticeship. This means that upon achieving an outcome of competency achieved in all units listed in your Training Plan, provided you can demonstrate competence in the workplace to industry standards, regardless of time served as an apprentice, you are able to be signed off on a nationally recognised trade certification.
Recognition for Prior Learning, or RPL, enables you to gain credit for a unit of competency or a full qualification based on previously acquired skills and knowledge that can be acquired through life or work experience.
If you have skills or knowledge previously acquired through work experience, short courses or other qualifications, you may be able to reduce the time required to complete a qualification. To discuss your RPL eligibility call us on 1300 579 808.
