To qualify, staff must be employed full or part-time and cannot already have a diploma or degree. Typically they also can not have completed a Certificate III or Certificate IV qualification in the past 7 years however job loss or mutual cancellation with the employer as well as New Entrant status with a new employer can make someone eligible again so it is always worth formally checking eligibility even for those staff members who believe they may not be eligible. The main thing to remember as an employer is that we will step you through this process and make it as painless as possible.
