Latest Information - November 2008

Due to changes to the enrolment criteria, and despite our earnest endeavours to satisfy your desire to gain a qualification in your chosen field, we cannot guarantee with any certainty, despite your eligibility, a position in one of our training programs conducted under the PPP.

However we have an option whereby depending on your relationship with the Employment Service Provider (ESP) of your choice, we have another training option that will see you achieve a partial completion of your qualification of choice that can lead to a traineeship with your new employer allowing you to complete the full qualification.
