Training

Your training is an essential part of your apprenticeship or traineeship. Here’s what you need to know so you understand what is required. Don’t forget that APlus is there to help manage and oversee your training until you are fully qualified.

  • During a traineeship or apprenticeship, you’ll do a Certificate level of study to go with the ‘hands-on’ learning that takes place on the job.
  • Your APlus Employment Co-ordinator will organise a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) to deliver the training program that’s most relevant to you.
  • When you have successfully completed your apprenticeship, you will have a Level III Certificate, which is a nationally recognised qualification.
