Under the User Choice program, the Queensland Government provides a public funding contribution towards the cost of training for eligible Queensland apprentices and trainees.

Aurora Training Institute is a Skills Assure supplier under this program for the delivery of this Certificate III qualification as a traineeship pathway for new and existing employees.

Students have only one opportunity for funding as an apprentice or trainee under the User Choice program. Apprenticeships and traineeships completed whilst attending school are not counted.

For more information on the User Choice program visit the Queensland Government website at https://desbt.qld.gov.au/training/training-careers/incentives/userchoice.

Co-Contribution Fee

When studying a School-based apprenticeship or traineeship you are exempt from paying co-contribution fees under the User Choice program whilst still at school but may be required to pay fees if the training contract is converted to full-time or part-time. Aurora Training Institute may advise you if exemptions apply.

The Co-Contribution Fee under the User Choice program is dependent on the elective choice. Fees are paid at a rate of $1.60 per nominal hour. This fee represents the total cost to the student to enrol, undertake training and be awarded the qualification.

The contribution fee may be paid on behalf of the student by their employer or a third party unrelated to Aurora Training Institute.
