Funding for apprentices and their employers
Apprentice Training and Assessment funding
Queensland
Inscope Training is proud to be a Queensland Government subsidised training provider under the User Choice program. This program supports the delivery of our accredited Certificate III trade training courses to eligible apprentices, providing greater flexibility for both apprentices and their employers.
Funding Eligibility
You may be eligible for a partial or even full public funding contribution from the User Choice program for the cost of your training and assessment. Depending on your funding eligibility, you or your employer may still need to pay a small contribution (gap) fee. If a co-contribution fee is required, these are paid before a unit is made available to you. Units are opened progressively throughout your apprenticeship.
Co-Contribution Fees and Units of Competency
Funding and co-contribution fees are determined by the number of nominal hours of completion for each unit of competency and are preset by the Australian Government and are not determined by industry or Inscope Training. The total out of pocket cost being between $1550 - $1,800 depending on the certificate III course you are enrolled in and the elective units you choose. Concessions may apply for eligible learners, reducing the contribution fee to between $620 - $710.
