 IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

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 the training programs we conduct 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 – Employability Skills Program – that will see you achieve a partial completion of your qualification of choice that can lead to a workplace traineeship with your new employer allowing you to complete the full qualification.

Due to these changes, causing all Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) difficulties, THINQ Training is only offering the PPP from our Newcastle office in Cardiff (as of November 2008); phone now: 4956 9248


Pubs, hotels, cafes, clubs, restaurants in Sydney CBD are looking for staff with the above skill levels.
