Victoria Training Guarantee? Vocational education and training is a great way to gain a Nationally Recognised Qualification that will improve your ability to enter the workforce or enhance your career or job prospects. The Victorian Training Guarantee is making training more accessible to people who do not have a post-school qualification, or who want to gain a higher level qualification than they already hold. The Victorian Training Guarantee entitles eligible students to a government subsidised place through one of Victoria’s many Accredited Training Institutes or private Registered Training Organisations. Am I eligible for the Victorian Training Guarantee? In 2011 you are eligible for a government subsidised training place if you: • Meet one of the following citizen/residency status: - Australian citizen - Australian Permanent Resident (holder of a permanent visa) - holder of a Special Category Visa (sub-class 444, New Zealand citizen) - East Timorese asylum seeker, or - holder of a Temporary Protection Visa. • And are any of the following: - a young person under 20 years; - an applicant seeking a Foundation skills course; - an applicant who is an Apprentice; or - an applicant seeking a higher qualification than the highest qualification already held is eligible for the Victorian Training Guarantee. NOTE: Training places are subject to admission requirements and availability. What are the fees? In 2011, the Victorian Government will cover between 70 and 90 per cent of the cost of training in a government subsidised place. You will still be required to cover some of the cost by paying tuition fees. Can you get assistance with paying fees? auConcessions are available for study at Certificate I to IV levels for Health Care Card holders studying in a government subsidised place. Am I eligible? Students must meet citizenship and other eligibility requirements for any government subsidised training at any course level. What if I want to study but don't meet eligibility? You can still study at your choice of training provider if places are available, but you may not be able to access a government subsidised tuition fee. Where can I get more information?
