Additional User Choice Funding

The Traineeship and Apprenticeship Services (TAS) have announced a further expansion of User Choice funding.  As denoted on the User Choice Price List, the majority of qualifications, ranging from AGF levels 2 to 6, will now attract funding.

This initiative applies only to new and existing worker apprentices and trainees commencing a training contract on or after 7 December 2011. Note that:

- Training that is delivered wholly on-the-job will be funded only at the Certificate II level, while off-the-job delivery will be funded at all levels

- Funding is limited to two successfully completed training contracts

Training contracts commenced before 7 December 2011 continue to be subject to pre-existing User Choice policies.

For a list of qualifications eligible for User Choice funding, please refer to the User Choice Unit Price List located on the Apprenticeship Traineeship Information System (ATIS) or go to http://www.training.sa.gov.au/MaintainingYourRegistration/ProvideApprenticeshipsorTraineeships/tabid/124/Default.aspx
