Training costs

If you are eligible then all training associated with the traineeship is free to the Employer. The materials are a separate cost. The Office of Training and Tertiary Education funds ENET and pays the Employer the incentive to encourage Employers to give staff time away from their routine work.
 

Who identifies eligibility?

We are happy to arrange for a National Apprenticeship Representative to visit your workplace and discuss/identify the eligibility and the government incentive for training your staff.
 

Advantages: - upon eligibility

Trainee = Nationally Accredited Qualification
Employer = Providing staff with on the job training. Fully qualified Trainer/Assessor visits the trainee approx. 6 weekly at your workplace. Government Incentives may apply.

Everyone is a winner .....
 

Traineeship Categories

There are two types of categories:
  • If signed up within 3 months (if full-time) or 6 months (if part-time) of employment start date, the trainee is identified as a NEW START. This is the best scenario because the employer is entitled to the maximum incentive if his committed trainee completes the traineeship. Note the best Certificate level is 3 because the incentive is greater than 2. Refer to ENET brochure.
     
  • After the above periods, the trainee is identified as an EXISTING worker. We offer the same service, however it is a user pay option and may also have a government incentive attached to training, depending on the qualification. This will need to be explained in detail by the Traineeship Co-ordinator.
The training service provided is exactly the same if they are NEW START or EXISTING workers.
 

Out of pocket expenses to the Employer/Traineee

An enrolment fee is compulsory. If trainee has a valid health care card the cost is $50.00. If no health care card the cost is $290.00, payable at the induction meeting arranged by the Traineeship Co-ordinator.

Trainee workbooks. A booklist will be provided to the Employer prior to or at the Induction meeting.
 

Our popular courses at Certificate 3 level are:


  • Admin with different streams ie. legal, medical
  • Retail
  • Admin
  • Community Services (Aged Care)
 

How long does the course go for?

Usually within 1 year (fulltime worker), longer for a part-time worker.
 

Process

The process begins with an Induction meeting – the traineeship co-ordinator will make an appointment with the Employer and Trainee to go through ENET’s documentation as follows:

  • Induction pack (information for the trainee re: overview of whole traineeship)
  • Service Agreement (Agreement between the Employer and ENET).
  • Trainee Booklist.
  • Formal plan
  • Time-log sheet. The Employer is entitled to give his/her staff member approx. 3 hours per week (if possible) away from the their routine work to work on their workbooks. This is why the incentive is paid.
  • Invoice for enrolment fee.
 
We, at ENET are proud of our tailored service and have had a lot of positive feedback from past Employers and Trainees.
