Subsidies and Co-Contribution
Response Learning is approved to deliver these qualifications through a Traineeship supported by Queensland Department of Education and Training (QDET) funding. More information about the finding can be found on the DESBT’s website https://www.qld.gov.au/education
Eligibility to receive a funding subsidy
To be eligible to receive subsidised training under the User Choice program you must:
- be employed in an approved apprenticeship or Traineeship
- have entered a training contract for a qualification funded by the government
- have selected a training provider, such as Response Learning, that is a pre-qualified supplier (a government-approved training provider).
Co-Contribution Fees and Concessions
Co-Contribution Fees are mandated by the Queensland Government. The current Fee is $1.60 per nominal hour. If you are a concession card holder or fit into a priority population group (PPG) you may be entitled to a concession rate of $0.64 cents per nominal hour.
Each unit in a qualification has assigned nominal hours (the hours of training that a new person to the field of study might require to successfully complete a unit or qualification). The nominal hours for a full qualification is the sum of all the required units hours.
| For example: |
| AMP20117 Certificate II in Meat Processing (Food Services). |
| Generally, requires a total of 14 Units (6 Core Units and 8 Elective units). Depending on the electives chosen, the total sum of unit hours might be 420 hours. |
| Total Qualification Co-Contribution required: |
420 Hours x $1.60 = $672.00 |
| Total Qualification Co-Contribution (Concession): |
420 Hours x $0.64 = $268.80 |
Credit Transfers
During the enrolment process, Trainees will have the opportunity to apply Credit Transfers (CT) for any unit of competency previously achieved through another accredited program. This reduces the number of units the Trainee must do to achieve their qualification. The Trainee will not be charged for any units recorded as Credit Transfer.
| For example, for the same qualification (AMP20117) above: |
| AMP20117 If 4 units equalling 80 nominal hours was successfully completed with another RTO and a Statement of Attainment or USI transcript is provided to Response Learning: |
| 420 Hours less 80 hours = 340 hours |
| Total Qualification Co-Contribution required: |
340 Hours x $1.60 = $544.00 |
| Total Qualification Co-Contribution (Concession): |
340 Hours x $0.64 = $217.60 |
The Co-Contribution Fee may be paid on your behalf by a third party such as your employer or your parents, but it cannot be paid by your training provider.
Withdrawal, Cancellations and Refunds
Something changes in circumstances mean that a Trainee cannot complete the Traineeship. Where this occurs, Response Learning will refund 100% of the Co-Contribution Fees paid for any unit not commenced. Where a unit has commenced, Response Learning will refund a relative proportion of the Co-Contribution fee paid for the unit.
Refunds will be paid to the person or organisation who paid the Co-Contribution Fee only.
Entry Requirements
Response Learning is required to assess an individual’s suitability and language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) skills relevant to each qualification. We do this using a Skills Check.
The Skills Check ensures you have the best chance to successfully complete your Traineeship. It also informs us of any areas where we can provide support to assist your learning or, if required, refer you to external assistance.
If you believe you may need assistance or support in any areas that may impact on you successfully completing the qualification, please speak with your trainer/facilitator at your induction.
Citizenship, residency and visa Information
As a general rule, only Australian citizens, and New Zealand citizens who have entered Australia on a valid passport, have unrestricted rights to employment in Australia.
Any other person wanting to work in Australia must have a visa allowing employment. Visa holders may engage in Traineeships provided their work rights allow this, based on advice provided by the Department of Home Affairs.
Employers have a legal responsibility relating to the residency eligibility for employment and foreign nationals.
Existing employees
If you are already employed, you can commence a Traineeship. For example, a Traineeship could be used to move from process worker in the meat sector to become a boner or packer.
Recognition of prior learning
As an existing employee or if you have worked in the industry related to the qualification you are enrolling into, you may be able to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). RPL is a process that assesses the skills and knowledge you may already have. If you are already skilled in some areas you may not need training, just assessment. We do that using a variety of methods including, supervisor reports, workplace documentation, observations of your work, products or activities you have undertaken etc.
Successful RPL may reduce the nominal term of the Traineeship.
Note: Casual or daily hire employees are not eligible to undertake Traineeships, as there is no guaranteed pattern of work (which is a requirement of a training contract).
Existing employees entering in a Traineeship may be subject to the Existing Workers Policy (PDF, 330KB) which may affect funding for training.
School-based traineeships (SATs)
SATs combine study, work and training to provide students with a head start on their career. There are some eligibility requirements that are specific to school-based apprentices and trainees.
SATs attend a regular pattern of structured off-the-job training (often scheduled blocks of training) and undertake regular paid employment during school hours, often spilling over to weekends and holiday periods.
To complete a school-based training contract, a trainee must have completed 50 days of paid employment for each year of the equivalent full-time nominal term.
Employers are required to provide the student with a minimum of 375 hours (50 days) of paid employment over each 12 month period of the training contract. Over each three-month period, the student must work an average of 7.5 hours per week as a minimum.
SATs are not required to pay Co-Contribution Fees.
For further information please go to School-based apprenticeships and traineeships.

Withdrawal with no penalty’ cut-off date
Participants (or the payer) who formally withdraw or have their Training Contract is cancelled prior to commencement of their first unit or study will be provided with a full refund of any fees paid in advance.
Partial Refunds
Refunds will not apply to individuals or other organisations for Smart and Skilled funded Traineeship enrolments where the NSW Government has paid the Student Fees.
Refunds will be calculated on a pro-rata basis using the full program fee divided by the number of units required for the full qualification (where the enrolment was for a full qualification).
Example:
| Qualification XXX has 20 Units as per the training package requirements |
| Full Fee | Number of Units | Fee per Unit | Fee Per Unit for Credit Transfer | Fee Per Unit for RPL (50%) |

After the without penalty cut-off date
After the without penalty cut-off date, a partial refund will be paid for any unit that has been granted a Credit (Credit Transfer) for one or more units within the enrolled qualification. The refund will apply only for the unit fee value of the Credited unit based on the pro-rata calculation.
Payment Plans
Where the full Student Fee is paid using a payment plan (e.g. 3 payments), the value of the enrolled units are calculated on the same basis and the value of each payment in a payment plan. Applicable refunds will be based on the fees paid at the date of withdrawal. Where units fees have not yet been paid (e.g. after Payment 1 and before Payment 2 where 8 units were commenced and no Credit or RPL applies), Student fees will be invoiced to the payer for the additional units.
Example based on the Qualification XXX above:
| Full Fee | Payment 1 | Payment 2 | Payment 3 |
| $2000.00 | $600.00 | $1000.00 | $400.00 |
| (20 Units) | 6 Units | 10 Units | 4 Units |

I.E. sufficient units have been successfully achieved to meet the requirements of a lower level qualification. | Refund of the pro-rata qualification fees per unit for the remaining units only. I.E. Awarded the lower level qualification and for units not commence form the remaining units in the original qualification. Points 1 & 2 above apply to remaining units. |
Part Qualification and Prevocational Programs
The NSW Government Smart and Skilled program, provides funding for targeted industries, priority groups and vocational pathways. This funding is available (upon application) for programs that are developed in connection with employers and community organisations that lead to a possible job outcome for successful students.
Part Qualification and Prevocational Programs are fee-free (no Student Fee) for the participants and aim to help upskill existing workers or help jobseekers gain the training they need to be work ready and to introduce them to the industry.
Priorities for funding:
- Industries that have skill shortage areas or that can demonstrate the need for entry-level skills, rather than full qualifications
- Industries that are undergoing change, needing to up-skill workers
- Where employers participate in participant selection and work experience
- Industries where actual job opportunities are available.
How to apply for Smart & Skilled funding:
Response Learning Courses are delivered in the workplace. We can undertake a review of your training needs and develop programs suited to your business and work environment. We work closely with our clients to submit training proposals for tailored programs funded under the targeted priorities. Visit the Smart and Skilled website.
