What is the Certificate 3 Guarantee?

A core element of the Queensland Government’s Working Queensland jobs plan is ensuring Queenslanders have access to quality training programs that deliver effective skills to meet employment and business demands.

The Certificate 3 Guarantee supports eligible individuals to complete their first post-school certificate III level qualification and increase their skills to move into employment, re-enter the workforce or advance their career.

It also supports Queensland’s Year 12 graduates to transition to employment by providing fee-free training in high priority qualifications.

Where are these courses being delivered?

These courses are being delivered in Palmview (Sunshine Coast) Queensland only.  We also deliver on client premises at client request.  We will be expanding into the Gold Coast and Brisbane in the very near future.

Are you eligible to participate?

The program is open to any Queensland resident aged 15 years or over who is no longer at school (with the exception of VET in Schools students) and is an Australian or New Zealand citizen or Australian permanent resident (including humanitarian entrants), or a temporary resident with the necessary visa and work permits on the pathway to permanent residency.

Prospective participants must not have or be enrolled in a certificate III level or higher qualification, not including qualifications completed at school and foundations skills training.

Do you need to contribute to the cost of your training?

Given the benefits that training provides to individuals, participants undertaking certificate III level training are required to contribute to the costs of their training through a co-contribution fee. The amount of your out-of-pocket expense will vary depending on the course you undertake and whether you are eligible for a concession. The fee may be paid on your behalf by an employer or another third party, but cannot be paid by the Train Me RTO. See the course flyer for the qualification you are interested in, this flyer will outline your co-contribution fee for that qualification. Additionally, it will outline what Train Me RTO are being subsidised by Queensland Government’s Department of Education to deliver each qualification.
