New South Wales Government Subsidised Training

City East College (RTO 90269) has funds available for subsidised training (conditions apply) . This training is subsidised by the NSW government. It is for people who have recognised ‘barriers to learning’ who would therefore have difficulty successfully completing a full qualification at say, TAFE or another private provider.

Training covered: The subsidy is available specifically for Nationally recognised training in part qualifications (maximum 50% of the qualification).

To be eligible you must be:

• An Australian citizen, permanent resident or humanitarian visa holder, or New Zealand citizen, and

Aged 15 years or older

• Not at school (except young people at school at risk of not making a successful transition to further training or work)
• Living or working in NSW

If you meet the above criteria, then training subsidised by the NSW Government may be available in some specific courses if you fall into any of the categories listed below:

• Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders
• People with a disability
• Long term unemployed
• Low income students receiving commonwealth welfare and their dependants
• Young people (15 – 17 years of age) who are at risk of not making a successful transition from school to further training or work
• Migrants/refugees who are unemployed or underemployed
• People with other barriers to Smart and Skilled entitlement

You will be required to complete an initial assessment form to see if you qualify.

Documentary evidence will be required to prove your eligibility as CEC is required to check eligibility, obtain evidence and retain it as proof that you are entitled to have your training subsidised by the NSW government.
