Australian Apprenticeships operate on the basis of a formal Training Agreement between an employer and the Australian Apprentice.
The Contract protects both you and your employee's interests. It also outlines your obligation to provide training, specifies the qualification to be achieved by your Australian Apprentice and explains their obligations to you.
Training contracts are registered with your State and Territory Training Authority.
For information on Training Contract requirements contact an Australian Apprenticeships Centre in your region or the State or Territory Training Authority in your State or Territory.
Australian Apprenticeships training can be on-the-job, off-the-job or a combination of both. The off-the-job training is delivered by a training provider who is registered in your State or Territory to provide nationally recognised training.
Under User Choice arrangements you may be able to select the private or public training provider of your choice. In addition, you may be able to negotiate the timing, location and nature of the training. This makes it easier in a number of ways:
The details of policies governing User Choice of training provider differ from State to State, and within States where training markets vary.

Apprenticeships Centre in your region or visit the website of the
