Training Beyond 2000 offers qualifications which can be provided either on a :

• Full 'Fee for Services' basis, or

Full 'Fee for Service' Training 

Applicants who are unable to meet the criteria to enrol in government subsidised qualifications are able to enrol on a non-subsidised 'fee for service' basis.

The cost of completing a qualification on a fee for service basis is set out in the relevant Qualification Information Sheets on our website.

NSW Government Subsidised Training

Training Beyond 2000 Pty Ltd offers qualifications which are government subsidised under the Smart and Skilled Program. 

What is Smart and Skilled? 

Smart and Skilled is a reform of the NSW vocational education and training system which provides individuals with the chance to gain the skills they need to obtain a job and advance their careers. 

To be eligible to be enrolled in the Smart and Skilled Program, you must:

• be an Australian citizen, a permanent Australian resident, a humanitarian visa holder or a New Zealand citizen; and
• be aged 15 years or older; and
• live or work in NSW; and
• no longer be at school or equivalent.

Each government subsidised qualification has a fixed qualification price, a government subsidy amount and an Administration Fee payable by the participant.  A participant contributes towards the cost of training through the payment of a fee to the training provider.  The NSW Skills List identifies which qualifications receive a government subsidy.  

Smart and Skilled eligible students undertaking one of the priority courses will not be required to pay an Administration Fee.
