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.
