About Traineeships Courses

Traineeships provide a unique blend of work-based learning and formal study, allowing you to gain practical skills while earning a qualification. With hands-on experience and flexible study options, traineeships are ideal for those wanting to build their career through on-the-job training while still gaining essential theoretical knowledge.

FAQs

Are traineeships suitable for career changers?

Yes. Traineeships are an excellent pathway for people transitioning into new industries. You can earn while you learn and gain recognised skills in sectors like aged care, IT, or business support—without starting from scratch.

What qualifications can I earn through a traineeship?

Most traineeships lead to Certificate II, III or IV qualifications under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). These are nationally recognised and can be stepping stones toward diplomas or degrees.

Is 35 or 40 too old to do a traineeship?

No, there is no age limit for traineeships. In fact, adults bring valuable workplace experience that can support their learning. Many employers welcome mature-aged trainees for their reliability and life skills.

What is the difference between a trainee and an apprentice?

Apprenticeships are trade-focused (e.g. carpentry, plumbing), while traineeships are common in office-based or service industries. Both are formal, paid learning pathways with qualifications attached.

What support or incentives are available for trainees?

Eligible trainees may receive payments through Centrelink or access to wage subsidies and training incentives. Visit Australian Apprenticeships to explore programs.
