How to employ an apprentice
Are you considering employing an apprentice? Or want to move your apprentice training to Inscope?
Here’s how we make it easy for you to switch or sign up your apprentice to train with us:
Find an apprentice
You may be approached directly, or you can enquire through us to find an apprentice. We have a network of contacts and can sometimes match a suitable candidate to your needs. Your apprentice might be school-based, a recent high-school graduate, or a mature-aged apprentice.
Sign a training contract with your employee
You and your employee will meet with an Apprentice Connect Australia Provider (ACAP) to complete the apprenticeship training contract, which is a legal agreement between you, your training provider and your employee (if you don't know an ACAP, call us 1300 579 808 and we can put you in touch with one).
During this step, choose Inscope Training as your Supervising Registered Training Organisation (SRTO).
If you’re looking to switch SRTOs to Inscope, you’ll need to speak with your ACAP provider to revise your training contract and choose Inscope Training as your SRTO.
Start training your apprentice
Your apprentice will work onsite with you gaining hands-on learning and experience on the job. We’ll take care of the practical gap training and assessments required to complete their trade qualification.
What does it cost to train an apprentice?
Because an apprentice is your paid employee, you’ll pay them a wage. 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 contribution fees (Queensland only) that may need to be paid:
- CPC30220 - Certificate III in Carpentry
- CPC30620 - Certificate III in Painting and Decorating
- CPC31220 - Certificate III in Wall and Ceiling Lining
- CPC31320 - Certificate III in Wall and Floor Tiling
*Under some contracts and awards, apprentices may be eligible for their employer to pay or reimburse the contribution fee. Check your apprentice's award or employment contract to find out if they are eligible.
