Fee-Free traineeships

Traineeships are a proven pathway to well-paid jobs in diverse range of careers. In NSW, traineeships are also fee free until 30 June 2027.

There’s never been a better time to start a traineeship in NSW. The NSW Government is paying the course cost for new traineeships, meaning trainees undertaking a government-funded traineeship course no longer face a student fee of up to $1,000.

Traineeships are a great career pathway. They combine on-the-job training with formal study to give you the skills and experience employers are looking for. Traineeships generally take around 1-2 years to complete, and trainees earn a salary while they learn.

MTC FutureReady can offer the following nationally recognised qualifications through Fee-Free Traineeships:

  • BSB20120 Certificate II in Workplace Skills
  • BSB30120 Certificate III in Business

Eligibility

Fee-Free Traineeships are available to NSW Trainees, including school-based trainees whose training:

  • Is funded under the NSW Government’s Smart and Skilled program
  • Commences before 30 June 2027.

Each student is limited to a maximum of commencing three fee-free traineeships under this initiative.  

Further eligibility

To be eligible to enrol in government-subsidised Smart and Skilled training you must be:

  • 15 years old or over
  • No longer at secondary school
  • Living or working NSW (or an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person living in specific defined interstate NSW border areas)
