Training Beyond 2000 Pty Ltd conducts subsidised training for qualifications offered under the Smart and Skilled Program, for applicants falling into two categories, being:

• traineeships or
• non traineeships.

Traineeships 

Traineeships are available where the applicant is a new entrant trainee and has been employed for not more than 3 month’s full time or 12 months part time or casual or any combination of the above for a continuous period not exceeding 12 months. 

Traineeships combine work based training with an employer and formal training from a training provider.  They are established under training contracts between the employer and the trainee and are regulated by government. 

Where funded qualifications are offered as traineeships, most new entrant trainees are eligible for a Smart and Skilled subsidy.

As a new entrant trainee, you are eligible for a government subsidy for your traineeship qualification, even if you already have a Certificate IV or higher qualification.  

The cost of training for NSW new entrant trainees is currently 'Fee Free'. Under this arrangement, the NSW government will pay the full qualification price which includes the Administration Fee.

You can find out more information about the qualifications and calculate your course fee, if any, on the Smart and Skilled website at www.smartandskilled.nsw.gov.au.

 

 

Non Traineeships 

Non traineeship subsidised courses are available where the applicant is an existing worker and meets the requirements to enrol in the Smart and Skilled Program, however, they do not meet the traineeship employment requirements referred to above.
