What is the Fast-Track Apprenticeships Program?

The FTA:

supports flexible competency-based training models to deliver qualifications to industry standards in shorter timeframes;
allows RTOs to implement systemic change and develop sustainable models that can be applied in other apprenticeship areas within their institutions and within the targeted industry area; and
supports training models that are designed for continuous improvement - to keep up to date with Industry Skills Councils requirements

There are two elements of funding available:

project funding of up to $250,000 (GST exclusive) is available for RTOs to develop projects to implement Fast-Track Apprenticeships; and
brokerage funding is also available for lead organisations to broker successful competency-based training models.
