Fees and Funding Options in Queensland

Year 12 Fee Free

What is “Fee Free Training for Year 12 Graduates”?

Funded by the Queensland Government Department of Education and Training, to support Queensland’s Year 12 graduates to successfully transition to employment, the Queensland Government is offering fee-free training in high priority qualifications identified by the Queensland Government and industry groups. The training is available through a range of certificate III level vocational education and training (VET) courses, as well as apprenticeships and traineeships.

Fee-free training gives Year 12 graduates a head start on their careers by allowing them to complete a high priority qualification through an apprenticeship, traineeship or selected VET course without the financial burden of student contribution fees

About

Fee-free training only applies to apprenticeships and traineeships or certificate III level qualifications identified as high priority by the Queensland Government. High priority qualifications will develop the skills most needed by employers and the Queensland economy, and are based on skill demand, advice from industry, and whether the qualification will lead to employment.

The Queensland Government will cover the full cost of training in a high priority qualification delivered under the Year 12 fee-free training initiative. This means eligible participants will not be required to contribute to the cost of their training.

Year 12 fee-free training is available through two Queensland Government training investment programs the Certificate 3 Guarantee and User Choice. It is important to carefully consider your training options before committing to a training course as this may exhaust your entitlement to further Queensland Government subsidised training.
