Certificate 3 Guarantee

Transcription

1 Certificate 3 Guarantee Certificate 3 Guarantee is a Queensland Government initiative that provides a training subsidy to eligible students and pays for the course fees of the student. The only cost to the student is a student contribution fee*. You will receive subsidised training for one certificate level III qualification of your choice to help increase your employment opportunities. You can also choose the training provider you would like to train with, provided the training provider is approved to deliver courses that qualify for funding under Certificate 3 Guarantee. Study Group is an approved provider by the Queensland State Government. If you need to develop skills before undertaking a certificate III course, you may be eligible to undertake study in language, literacy and numeracy programs as well as certificate I and II qualifications that lead to the certificate III.
