Choose a registered training organisation

There are thousands of registered training organisations (RTOs) delivering vocational courses in Queensland.

Depending on the course and location, you may have many options to choose from.

These may differ in duration, cost and delivery method (campus or online) and mode (part-time, full-time or school-based) as well as quality and suitability.

Do your own research

It's important to search for a training organisation that suits your business rather than simply relying on someone's recommendation.

Employers are often recommended training organisations based on familiarity rather than suitability.

Do your own research. Like any product, it pays to shop around. Find out who will give you the best deal.

Subsidised training organisations

A pre-approved group of training organisations, called 'Skills Assure suppliers', are funded to deliver subsidised, entry-level training to Queensland apprentices and trainees.

However, not all apprenticeships and traineeships are funded; only those that are listed on our Priority Skills List. This list changes annually depending on industry demands and government budgets.
