We are a proud provider of The NSW Government's Smart and Skilled Program. Under this program, some of the courses are partially or fully subsidised based on the eligibility criteria to enrol in those qualifications. The Smart and Skilled program is a reform of the NSW vocational education and training system. It helps people gain the required skills and knowledge to get a job and advance their careers.
Smart and Skilled provides eligible students with
An entitlement to government-subsidised training to achieve your career goals
Government funding for higher-level courses (Certificate IV and above) in targeted priority areas.

The individual either lives or works in New South Wales,
An Australian citizen, a permanent Australian resident, a humanitarian visa holder or a New Zealand citizen

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students who do not live or work in New South Wales but live in specifically defined interstate New South Wales border areas are eligible for government-subsidised training under Smart and Skilled.

Unique Student Identifier (USI)
From 1 January 2015, all students participating in Vocational Education and Training (VET) qualifications must have a Unique Student Identifier (USI). We are required by Commonwealth legislation to have this number recorded for your training and cannot enrol new students without this number. If you do not have a USI, you can find more information on obtaining one here. Your USI may be used for reporting Training Activity Data to the Department.

Workplace Traineeship for Employers
Information for Employers
Under the NSW Government's traineeship initiative, employers can now offer subsidised training to the employees. The NSW Government will pay the student fee for 70,000 new trainees who commence their training under Smart and Skilled from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2023. If the employer pays the student fee typically on behalf of the trainee, they will no longer have to pay a cent in student fees for trainees who start their Smart and Skilled funded traineeship course on or after 1 January 2020.
This initiative will help businesses to ensure they have skilled staff, which is vital for its success.
