Workplace Courses

How does workplace training work in Australia?

Workplace training combines formal instruction with on-the-job experience. An RTO partners with your employer to deliver and assess competencies while you continue working.

What types of industries offer workplace training?

Industries like health, construction, retail, business, and aged care commonly offer workplace-based training. These often involve traineeships or short upskilling programs aligned with job requirements.

Can I study part of my course online and the rest in the workplace?

Yes. Many training programs are delivered in a blended format, with theory online and practical skills assessed in your workplace. This is common for compliance training and job-specific certifications.

Is workplace training available to part-time employees?

In most cases, yes. You can do a traineeship or structured workplace learning part-time, provided the RTO and employer support this delivery model.

Where can I verify if my workplace course is accredited?

You can search the National Register of Vocational Education and Training (VET) to ensure your provider and course are nationally recognised.
