Trade skills assessment and gap training program
The Trade Skills Assessment and Gap (TSAGT) Program gives eligible Queenslanders with substantial industry experience the opportunity to complete a priority trade qualification.
Who is eligible to receive training?
The TSAGT Program targets individuals assessed as demonstrating substantial competency in a priority trade qualification. William Angliss Institute is delivering the SIT30821 - Certificate III in Commercial Cookery and SIT30921 - Certificate III in Catering programs.
Eligible participants will be skilled individuals who:
- Can successfully complete a minimum of 60 per cent of the funded competencies in a priority trade qualification through recognition of prior learning (RPL)
- Require gap training in no more than 40 per cent of the funded competencies of a priority trade qualification to enable completion of the qualification.
To participate in the TSAGT program, you must:
- be 21 years of age or older
- have several years of relevant industry experience – your employment history must substantiate your experience
- not have previously completed a trade qualification in the same industry area (e.g. an industry area is defined as qualifications in the same national training package)
- not currently be an apprentice or trainee with a signed training contract under the Further Education and Training Act 2014
- enrol in an eligible priority trade qualification (XLS, 91KB)
- enrol at a contracted training provider (XLS, 97KB).
The definition of a priority trade qualification doesn't include every qualification declared and listed as an apprenticeship or traineeship. TSAGT targets most, but not all, apprenticeships that have been declared as a restricted calling in Queenslaand.
