The Certificate 3 Guarantee gives eligible Queenslanders access to government subsidised training. This subsidy covers up to and including one post-school certificate level III qualification in priority training areas. The Certificate 3 Guarantee subsidy for a course is paid to the training provider to reduce the cost of the certificate III course to the student. The amount of subsidy provided by the Certificate 3 Guarantee is determined by the Queensland Department of Education and Training based on their assessment of the demand for skilled workers in particular industries.
You are eligible for Certificate 3 Guarantee funding if:
- You are 15 years of age or older
- Have finished or left secondary school
- Are a Queensland resident
- Australian citizen or Australian permanent resident (including humanitarian entrant) or temporary resident with the necessary visa and work permit on the pathway to permanent residency or a New Zealand citizen
- You do not hold or are not currently enrolled in a certificate III or higher level qualification (certificate III qualifications completed prior to 1995 or at school do not apply) * If you have completed a course please speak with us as we may still be able to provide/suggest other options for funding or payment plans.
- Employment status does not matter, nor is there any minimum education requirement, except the standard entry requirements for the course
