Training for an Australian Apprenticeship can be delivered on-the-job, off-the-job or a combination of both. Training is delivered by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) who is registered in your State or Territory to provide nationally recognised training.
Under User Choice arrangements you are be able to select the private or public training provider of your choice and negotiate the timing, location and nature of the training. This makes it easier for:
-
employers who operate in more than one State and Territory may be able to choose one provider that can meet all their training needs
-
employers are able to negotiate with providers on aspects of the timing, location and mode of delivery, and about the trainer/facilitator who conducts the assessment
-
Training Packages generally include options for skills development and the rollout options for the units of competence
-
employers are able to negotiate purchase of flexible training over and above what is publicly funded through State or Territory User Choice arrangements.
Policies governing User Choice of training provider differ across States. Please contact Jobs Plus for more information.
The best resource to start your search for a RTO is Jobs Plus. Alternatively you can visit the National Training Information Service.
User Choice is a key tenet of the Australian Government's Australian Apprenticeships programme. We recommend you consult with Jobs Plus to consider the options when evaluating your enterprise's particular training needs, including the range of RTOs available to provide training.
