Certificate 3 Guarantee
What is the Certificate 3 Guarantee program?
The Certificate 3 Guarantee is a Queensland Government subsidy program that supports eligible individuals to complete their first post-school Certificate III level qualification and increase their skills to move into employment, re-enter the workforce or advance their career.
Students pay a co-contribution fee as specified by the training organisation, and the rest of the tuition fee is covered by the subsidy program.
Students can only access this subsidy once so they should be aware that they will no longer be eligible for a government-subsidised training place under a program once they complete the qualification level targeted through the program.
Qualifications include:
- BSB30115 Certificate III Business
- BSB30415 Certificate III Business Administration
- BSB30215 Certificate III Customer Engagement
- CHC30113 Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care
- CHC30213 Certificate III Education Support
Who is eligible to participate?
To be eligible, students must:
- Be an Australian or New Zealand citizen or Australian permanent resident, or a temporary resident with the necessary visa and on the pathway to permanent residency.
- Live in Queensland and have left school.
- Not already have or be enrolled in a certificate III level or higher qualification.
- Be 15 years old or over.
