What is the Higher Level skills Program?

The Higher Level Skills program provides a government subsidy in selected certificate IV or above qualifications and priority skill sets to help individuals gain the higher level skills required to secure employment or career advancement in a priority industry.

The Program is for any Queensland resident who does not already hold, or is not already enroled in, a post-school Australian certificate IV or higher level qualification this includes any equivalent certificate IV or higher level qualification irrespective of whether the qualification is through a university degree, apprenticeship or traineeship pathway. (Note: not including qualifications completed at school and foundation skills training.)

As you can only access the Higher Level Skills subsidy once, it is important you choose the right course for you to take full advantage of this opportunity. Any student who successfully completes a Certificate IV qualification will no longer be eligible for a subsidised training place under the Higher Level Skills Program.

The Queensland Government’s Department of Employment, Small Business and Training administers the Higher Level Skills Program. For further information please refer to their website here.
