Who is eligible

You can usually get a funded place if you are:

  • An Australian or New Zealand citizen or permanent resident, or on a visa with work rights and at least 6 months in the Queensland building industry
  • Working in Queensland building and construction now, or out of work in the industry for no more than 6 months
  • Living or working in Greater Brisbane, the Gold Coast or the Sunshine Coast

You are not eligible if you are:

  • An apprentice or trainee
  • A trainer, assessor or staff member of an RTO
  • At secondary school in Queensland
  • Already funded for the same training, or enrolled in another CSQ qualification at the same time
  • For Carpentry or Bricklaying: already holding a Certificate III in building or civil construction

Carpentry and Bricklaying are skills assessment first (RPL), then gap training for anything left. You need work experience that covers at least 70% of the qualification. We check this with you before you enrol.
