The lodgment of a second training contract where one of the training contracts is full-time will be reviewed by the Department to determine if each of the parties to each training contract can meet their obligations. There must be a clear separation between the training and employment requirements for each training contract and must not be replicated through the one occupation only.
Minimum of 15 hours per week over each 4 week period throughout duration of apprenticeship/traineeship.
School-based arrangements are not recommended at this qualification level. Prior to signing a training contract it is recommended that you contact the department to discuss other available options.
It is unlikely that a school-based trainee will be able to be employed in a capacity which provides the employment experience required under the employment based traineeship pathway. To ensure appropriate employment arrangements are in place all training contracts which are received by the Department of Trade, Employment and Training (DTET) for registration will be sent to the applicable regional office for review prior to a decision to register or refuse to register the training contract.
Over the period of a year, the employer must provide at a minimum the equivalent of 375 hours (50 days) of paid employment.
For a school-based trainee to be eligible to complete in this traineeship they must have met the minimum paid employment requirement as outlined below:
– 24 month full time nominal completion duration – 100 days minimum (750 hours)
Note: Each school-based traineeship has minimum paid employment requirements that are unique to the traineeship. Please refer to each traineeship in QTIS for further information.
