Am I eligible for Certificate III Guarantee (Queensland) funding program?

To be eligible participants must:

• have either finished or left secondary school
• be 15 years of age or older
• be an Australian or New Zealand citizen permanently residing in Queensland
• not hold or be currently undertaking a certificate III or higher level qualification (not including qualifications undertaken while still at secondary school)
• be a Permanent resident (including humanitarian entrants)
• be a Temporary resident with the necessary visa and work permits on the pathway to permanent residency.

The program is open to any Queensland resident aged 15 years or over who is no longer at school (with the exception of VET in Schools students) and is an Australian or New Zealand citizen or Australian permanent resident (including humanitarian entrants), or a temporary resident with the necessary visa and work permits on the pathway to permanent residency. 

Employment status is NOT a factor and nor is there any minimum education requirement, only the standard entry requirements for the course of study.

NB: Eligible individuals must understand that the entitlement under the Certificate 3 Guarantee is for one Government subsidised training* place in a funded certificate III qualification. It is very important that you take the time to consider and compare your training options and costs, before signing an enrolment form or committing to a course of study which will use up your entitlement.
