Government Funding Options
You may be able to study at a reduced cost with government funding. There are two pathways to access subsidised training:
- Standard Funding – If you’re a Queensland resident and have not yet completed a Certificate III or higher, KCA Education can confirm your eligibility and assist with your enrolment.
- Second Chance Funding (C3G Plus) – If you’ve already completed a Certificate III or higher and don’t qualify for standard funding, you may still be eligible. This option requires an additional step – before enrolling, you’ll need to apply through the Back to Work Pre-employment Program. If approved, you can then enrol with a training provider under C3G Plus funding.
Please note: This course is only available to students in Queensland, and is NOT available to people on 500 or 600 visas.
