You will need to talk to your training provider about the training course fees. They set these fees, so prices vary, and it pays to shop around. Read our training consumer tips.
Some training organisations receive state government funding, as a contribution to the cost of delivering training for priority apprenticeship and traineeship qualifications.
The Queensland Skills Gateway allows you to search for funded courses (qualifications) and training providers.
Search for a course (e.g. 'plumbing' or 'Certificate III in Plumbing') and:
view providers for your course, and check if they are funded – listed as yes or no under the 'Funded' column
view details under each course listing – the 'Funded under' section tells you how the course is funded and where to go for more information
refine your search options to select all funded programs, or only those courses funded under a specific program like Apprenticeships and traineeships.
You and your employer can work with one of these training providers or you can choose to pay the full fee for training from another training provider. In some cases, your employer may pay for your training.
Student co-contribution fees
Regardless of the training provider you choose, you may have to pay student co-contribution fees towards the cost of your training. Your training provider can give you more information on these fees.
