How does an apprenticeship work?\r\n

Because an apprenticeship involves training from both an employer and a training provider, the first step in starting an apprenticeship is to find an employer who’s willing to hire you as an apprentice. You’ll then both sign a training contract, a legally binding document that sets out the agreement between you and your employer to work and train together for the length of the apprenticeship. 

\r\n

As part of the training contract, make sure you select TAFE Queensland as your Supervising Registered Training Organisation (SRTO). 

\r\n

Once the paperwork is out of the way, you’ll officially start your apprenticeship, completing your trade qualification through TAFE Queensland while you work in industry putting your new skills into practice.

What does an apprenticeship cost?\r\n

As an apprentice, your employer pays your wage and in most cases also pays for your education and training, which makes an apprenticeship a valuable and cost-effective investment in your future. While your employer will generally cover your course fees and any prescribed text books, as an apprentice you may have to pay a small student contribution fee towards the cost of your training.

How is an apprenticeship different to a traineeship?\r\n

In most aspects, apprenticeships and traineeships work in much the same way. In general, apprentices are trained in a skilled trade such as plumbing, construction, or hairdressing with most apprenticeships taking between three to four years to complete. Traineeships on the other hand are more often offered in vocational areas such as business, child care or retail and generally take around one to two years to complete.
