Three ways to train
Which of these is you?
Tailored programme
Built around your roles, for larger teams
A programme shaped around your own roles and delivered to your team. Suited to larger groups and to needs the public schedule does not cover.
Corporate multi-employee enrolment
HR registering a group on public runs
You register a group of employees onto runs that are already scheduled. We handle the paperwork and the funding claim as one booking.
Individual with company sponsorship
Employee self-enrols, company pays
An employee books a place themselves and the company pays. Tell us first so the invoice and the funding go to the organisation rather than the individual.
Funding support for employers
Government support for your workforce
Employers sponsoring their employees may qualify for the following, subject to eligibility. The rate depends on the course, so each course page states its own fees by funding category.
-
SWDA funding
Course fee funding from the Skills and Workforce Development Agency for sponsored employees, subject to eligibility.
-
Absentee Payroll funding
Support towards manpower costs while sponsored employees attend training, subject to eligibility.
-
Enterprise Innovation Scheme (EIS)
A tax deduction on qualifying training expenditure, under the scheme's own criteria.
-
SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC)
An employer credit that eligible companies may put towards supportable training costs.
Funding is administered by the Skills and Workforce Development Agency (SWDA) and is subject to its prevailing criteria. Fees quoted on course pages exclude GST unless stated.
