With over 600 apprenticeship and traineeship qualifications to choose from in Queensland, you are sure to find one that suits your interests and abilities. To see all the different career options available, visit the Department of Education and Training list of Apprenticeships and Traineeships.
You and your employer have a number of options regarding your training, including being able to choose your training provider and having input into how, when and where the training is delivered. Training providers are known as Supervising Registered Training Organisations (SRTOs) and are either public (i.e. TAFE) or privately run organisations that are contracted by the Queensland Government to deliver apprenticeship and traineeship training.
Ultimately it is up to your employer to choose a suitable training provider, though many employers choose to make this decision in conjunction with their apprentice or trainee. When choosing a training provider it is important to take into account their flexibility in meeting your training needs, including how, where and when the training will be delivered, their experience, ongoing support and how much input you and your employer have in the training delivered.
