Government Funded Courses in Adelaide
Our range of courses on offer with subsidised training by the South Australian Government
Build your skills and open possibilities
Vocational Education and Training is an investment in you.
Our subsidised training has been designed so that students, job seekers, employers, industry, the training sectors and government have the flexibility to respond to changing social, geographic and economic circumstances and opportunities.
The Government wants people to be in the best position to successfully complete their training course or employment project and move into higher level qualifications and/or a job.
Participants receive an upfront assessment of their learning and support needs which includes using a foundation skills assessment tool. This identifies literacy and numeracy issues that need to be immediately addressed.
