User Choice Funding

The User Choice program provides public funding for the delivery of accredited, entry-level training to apprentices and trainees.

The program works in conjunction with the Commonwealth Australian Apprenticeships System, under which apprentices and trainees enter into legally binding training contracts with their employers and receive structured training to achieve a nationally recognised qualification.

The Queensland User Choice program enables apprentices, trainees and their employers to select a preferred Registered Training Organisation (RTO) from a list of Pre-qualified Suppliers for the delivery of accredited training to meet their specific needs.

Training Sense is a Pre-qualified supplier for the delivery of training in Queensland. For further details, go to: http://tsx.dtir.qld.gov.au/cgi-bin/dycgi03.exe/inetsite/app/qtis/qtis.stm
