Apprenticeships
An apprenticeship is a structured training arrangement of usually three and a half or four years duration. The training combines practical experience at your workplace with complementary off-the-job training with a Registered Training Organisation (RTO).
 
Apprenticeship qualifications can sometimes be completed at your place of work. Alternatively training can be provided off site by an experienced training provider, with a program tailored to the specialist needs of your business.

Traineeships
A traineeship is a training agreement between the trainee and their respective employer whereby the employer agrees to train the trainee in a specific industry, and the trainee agrees to work and learn.

Traineeships are available for people of all ages and usually last between nine and 48 months, depending on the vocation and certificate level undertaken.
