We provide customised apprenticeship training plans face-to-face with employers and students to ensure you’re learning the right skills.

School-Based Apprenticeships

A school-based apprenticeship is a formal arrangement that permits high school students (typically those in Year 11 or 12) to receive training as paid employees while studying for their senior certificate.  This involves providing a minimum of 375 hours (50 days) of paid employment for each 12 months from the date of commencement of the school-based apprenticeship or traineeship.

For the electrotechnology industry, the minimum is 600 hours (80 days) This arrangement must influence the student’s school timetable for the apprenticeship or traineeship to be considered school-based.
