Choose your training partner – training provider
After you have selected your Apprentice Connect Australia Provider as a training partner, you'll also need to choose a training provider to work with you and your employer (and school if appropriate) throughout the apprenticeship or traineeship.
Your Apprentice Connect Australia Provider can help you with this.
Your chosen training provider will be known as your supervising registered training organisation, or SRTO.
What your training provider does
Your training provider will:
- help you and your employer create a training plan which formalises what you'll learn, and when and how the training will be delivered and assessed
- give you a training record to document your training
- deliver and monitor training
- oversee the training provided by your employer
- assess your achievement of skills
- issue a qualification when you complete your apprenticeship or traineeship.
Choose a training provider
You and your employer should 'shop around' for a training provider who meets your needs.
Training providers may offer different methods of training, such as classroom-based, work-based or flexible learning (e.g. online training).
Checklist of questions
To help you decide, use our checklist of questions:
- How much does my course cost?
- How and when can my training be delivered?
- What delivery methods do you offer?
- Is training done in the workplace, at the training provider, or a combination?
- Is training offered as days per week or in blocks of weeks?
- Who will assess me, and when will assessments take place?
- Can I get help with literacy and numeracy?
- As a student with a disability, what kind of support do you offer?
To help you compare, record your answers on the training provider comparison table (PDF, 428KB).
