Workplace Courses

What are the benefits of workplace learning for employers and employees?

Workplace learning increases productivity, ensures skills are job-relevant, and reduces the need for off-site training. Employees gain real-world experience while studying, and employers retain motivated, upskilled staff.

Can I receive a formal qualification through workplace training?

Yes. Many nationally recognised qualifications—like Cert III in Business or Cert IV in Aged Care—can be completed entirely or partly through on-the-job training.

Is Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) available for workplace learners?

Yes. If you’ve gained skills through work experience, you may be eligible for RPL. This can shorten your study time and reduce your tuition costs. Speak to your RTO about assessment requirements.

What funding or support is available for workplace-based study?

Depending on your situation, you may qualify for wage subsidies, government incentives, or funded places under the Australian Apprenticeships program. Check with your employer or provider for details.

Can mature-aged workers enrol in workplace courses?

Absolutely. Workplace learning is increasingly used by adults reskilling mid-career or formalising existing knowledge through qualifications. There is no upper age limit.
