Your Pathway
We understand that the apprenticeship system can sometimes be a little confusing as there's so much great information out there. Here you'll find a step-by-step outline of what happens from start to finish and who does what, where and when.
When you and your apprentice or trainee are ready to get to work then you’re ready to start the process.
You may or may not know the qualification that you want them to complete, if you don't, just ask a BUSY consultant when they come out what's the best qualification for your employee, your industry and business.
STEP 1
Contact BUSY At Work
- Contact BUSY At Work and our friendly staff will arrange to visit you at your business to officially induct you and your employee into the program and sign the National Training Contract.
STEP 2
Select a training provider
- You and your employee select a training provider. BUSY can assist you with a list of training providers, known as Registered Training Organisations (RTOs), in your area that may be suitable. The RTO will work with you and your employee to develop a training plan which is your employee's road map towards acheiving their qualification.
STEP 3
Registration of your National Training Contract
- BUSY At Work will register the details of your National Training Contract with the Queensland State Training Authority, known as the Department of Education and Training (DET). The State Training Authority will send you and your employee a letter confirming that the apprenticeship or traineeship has been registered.
STEP 4
BUSY administers Australian Government incentives
- During the apprenticeship or traineeship, BUSY At Work will facilitate payment of your Government incentives. These will be posted to you as claim forms. This happens at different times, depending on what Government incentives you may be eligible for.
STEP 5
We keep in touch with you
- At different times throughout the program, BUSY At Work will contact you to see how things are progressing with your apprentice and your business.
STEP 6
Ready to complete
- When you, your employee and the RTO agree that all the requirements of your training plan have been completed, then your apprentice is ready to complete their qualification. All parties then sign the completion agreement / notice of issue of qualification. The RTO will issue your employee with their certificate and send the completion agreement to the Department of Education and Training (DET). This can sometimes be done earlier than expected as most qualifications are competency based.
STEP 7
Completion
- When the apprenticeship or traineeship is completed, the Department of Education and Training (DET) will issue a certificate of completion to your employee and will also advise you in writing that the certificate has been issued. Now your employee will have officially received a nationally recognised qualification.
