We are proud to be a Skills Assure provider!
The new Skills Assure identifier will make it easier to recognise providers that offer training subsidised by the Queensland Government.
Ask us about our subsidised courses and how you can enrol.

Yes, you can access the Career Boost program in Queensland if you hold an overseas qualification, provided you still meet the specific residency, visa, and qualification-level requirements.

In order to access the State Government Funding all students must meet all the eligibility criteria to undertake the government subsidised training. If you have an overseas qualification that is recognised in Australia as meeting the registration or licensing requirements for the occupation then you may be deemed not eligible to access the Career Boost Program.

Please contact us to discuss your overseas qualification and to assess your eligibility for government funding.

** Please Note: Participation of a Career Boost Program requires you to complete a Post Completion Survey at the end of your course.
