The Main Difference:
The main difference between an apprenticeship and a traineeship is that a traineeship can be within a broader range of occupations and is run either part-time or full-time, where you are employed and trained for typically between one to two years; compared to an apprenticeship, which covers skilled trades and takes around four years to complete.

Australian Apprenticeships offer a range of benefits, including:
- The combination of paid work and structured training that can be on or off the job (or both!)
- The “competency based" training model means you complete your training faster when you reach the required skills level
- You may elect to study full-time, part-time, or a combination of both - earning and learning as you go!
