The Certificate 3 Guarantee Program is a Queensland Government Initiative

F u n d i n g D e t a i l s

The Certificate 3 Guarantee supports eligible individuals to complete their first post-school certificate III level qualification and increase their skills to move into employment, re-enter the

workforce or advance their career. It also supports Queensland’s Year 12 graduates to transition to employment by providing fee-free training in high priority qualifications.

P a r t i c i p a n t m u s t b e

15 years of age or above No longer at school

Queensland Resident Not currently enrolled in another course, hold or have previously enrolled into a Certificate II or

higher level Qualification

Are students who hold qualifications that are not Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF)

qualifications eligible under the Certificate 3 Guarantee?

Students who hold a bachelor degree or higher level qualification awarded by a tertiary college or

university in Australia are not eligible to access the Certificate 3 Guarantee as these qualifications

form part of, and are nationally recognised within, the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).

Students who hold a Certificate level I to Advanced Diploma qualification issued prior to the

introduction of the Australian Qualifications Framework in 1995 are eligible to access the Certificate

3 Guarantee.

Can students complete more than one certificate III level qualification through the Certificate 3

Guarantee program?

No - students are entitled to access government subsidised training for one completed Certificate III

qualification. For this reason, it is very important that prior to signing an enrolment form and

committing to a course of study which will use up the entitlement, students take the time to

consider the course they are choosing and to compare training options and costs.
