Smart and Skilled funding provides eligible students with access to government subsidised training. This subsidy covers up to and including, one post-school certificate level III qualification in priority training areas. Funding for higher level qualifications is also available in targeted priority areas. The Smart and Skilled course subsidy is paid directly to the training provider to assist the employer and student to reduce the cost of certificate III courses. The amount of subsidy provided by Smart and Skilled is determined by the NSW State Government based on their assessment of the demand for skilled workers in particular industries.
