Please note you will no longer be eligible for subsidized training under Certificate 3 Guarantee once you have completed a certificate level III qualification.
*Students who hold a certificate III, higher level qualification or bachelor degree awarded by a tertiary college or university in Australia are NOT eligible to access the Certificate 3 Guarantee as these qualifications form part of, and are nationally recognised within, the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). (Note: certificate III qualifications completed at secondary school are not counted).
Students who hold a Certificate level I to Advanced Diploma qualification issued prior to the introduction of the Australian Qualifications Framework in 1995 are eligible to access the Certificate 3 Guarantee.

If a person is eligible for funding under Certificate 3 Guarantee, the Queensland Government will subsidise the costs of their accredited training, although a student contribution fee will be required. The fee may be paid on your behalf by an employer or a third party but cannot be paid by the training provider.
