The main ones are an Australian Apprenticeship, where you work and train at the same time, a full-time TAFE or private provider course, a short course for a specific skill or card, and starting in a junior role with an employer. Which suits you depends on the trade, your age and your circumstances.
You work for an employer, get paid, and train alongside, usually with time at a registered training organisation such as TAFE. A training contract is registered with the state or territory authority. They take from about three to four years for many trades. Traineeships are shorter and cover other occupations.
Search the government's Australian Apprenticeships Pathways website, and ask local employers, group training organisations and TAFE. An Australian Apprenticeship Support Network provider can help match you with an employer and explain the process.
Apprentices often pay little or nothing for training, depending on the state or territory, and employers may get government incentives. Namoye doesn't set prices. Some states offer subsidised or fee-free places for priority courses, and eligible apprentices may get a training support payment. Ask each provider what applies.
It depends. Electrical, plumbing, gas fitting, building and many other trades require a licence, which is set by each state or territory and usually requires a completed qualification and supervised work. Construction work also requires a general construction induction card, known as a White Card. Ask the provider what the course prepares you for, and check what you'd need to work legally.
Check the provider on training.gov.au to see whether it is a registered training organisation and whether it is approved to deliver the qualification. The Australian Skills Quality Authority regulates most providers. Be careful with guaranteed jobs or results, pressure to enrol immediately, and costs that aren't written down.
If you already have skills or experience, a provider may give you credit towards a qualification. Ask how they assess it, what it saves in time and cost, and get the result in writing before you pay.
Ask how the provider measures job outcomes, who is counted, how recent the figures are and whether you can speak to former students or local employers.
Many providers offer evening, weekend or part-time options. Ask what the timetable really involves and how much hands-on time you get.
The Tuition Protection Service can help eligible students if a provider can't deliver the course. Ask what refund and withdrawal terms apply, and get them in writing.
Which trade interests you, your age and qualifications so far, whether you want to earn while you learn, and your postcode. If you don't have everything, send the request anyway.
