Get Funding for Training

With nationally recognised qualifications and foundation skills, these training programs from CSQ, Jetco and BERT help to stay in the workforce or enter into it. The Skilling Queenslanders for Work program offers funded training projects to assist unemployed individuals and those wishing to upgrade their skills to meet the demands of our future workforce. For employers, staff member training can be supported through short courses, small business program offers, and funding provided by the Australian Government. This allows your staff members to stay up-to-date and ensure they have the skills required for their job. With all these options available, there is sure to be a program that suits your needs.

  • CSQ-funded training is delivered by a range of selected registered training organisations (RTOs) across Queensland.

BERT Funding Criteria

If you are a member of BERT and meet the BERT Training Fund (BTF) eligibility criteria, you can apply for a training subsidy. Please note no funds are deducted from your BERT account to cover the cost of your training. Your BERT account is only used as a reference to determine the amount of funding we will authorise.

Apply Online

You can apply online by visiting www.btfund.org.au and selecting ‘Apply Here’ for Training Grants. Submit your application and if successful, you will receive written confirmation of your grant and the amount to be funded.

Get Written Confirmation

BTF recommends applicants wait until written confirmation has been received before committing to pay for a course. This is because reimbursement by BTF is only made after the training is completed and the following documentation is provided:

  • A copy of the paid invoice from the RTO that delivered the training
  • A copy of the training results (Statement of Attainment or Qualification)
  • A copy of your Separation Certificate (if applicable)
