How much does it cost me?
All eligible course participants will be subject to a nominal administration fee of $100 per course enrolment; this is to cover the ongoing administration costs of the training and services provided by Gold Training.  Depending on the course you are intending on completing, you may be required to pay any shortfall between the maximum funded amount received from CSQ and the fee charged by Gold Training for the course.

Skills Assessment and Gap Training (SAGT) is available if you are currently working in the industry, or are looking to re-enter the industry - but do not hold a formal qualification. The SAGT funded program provides you with the ability to turn your experience into a nationally recognised qualification.

Through the SAGT program, you will be assessed by our experienced trainers to identify your current skills, and provide gap training where necessary. Under the SAGT program your skills and knowledge will be 'mapped' against the qualification or unit of competency. 

CSQ funding contributes towards the cost of your qualification or unit of competency. Given the variances of the required gap training on an individual basis, Gold Training will assess applicant's eligibility for funding and advise any shortfall in course fees.

For more information on SAGT funded training and assessment, please visit the CSQ website.
