Frequently Asked Questions
Am I eligible to become an apprentice?
Australian apprenticeships are available to anyone of working age. There is no requirement to hold a secondary school certificate or other qualification. You can undertake an Australian apprenticeship if you’re a school level entrant, are re-entering the workforce or are an adult worker.
How do I apply for an apprenticeship?
By finding prospective employers on Apprenticeship job boards, and on websites such as Seek or Indeed.
How many days am I required to attend Trade School?
As an apprentice connected with TIV, you’ll be required to attend training once a month on 2 consecutive days for 10 months of each year.
What is the duration of an apprenticeship?
The duration of an apprenticeship is up to four years. Progress can depend on the rate at which you can demonstrate competence to the satisfaction of your employer and your trainer.
Will I be paid for the time I spend undertaking supervised training?
Yes.
Supervised training is commonly referred to as off-the-job training delivered by your training organisation. Under the requirements of the training contract, all employers must release their apprentice or trainee from work and pay the appropriate wage to attend any off-the-job training (including assessment) as provided for in the training plan.
What are the benefits of apprenticeships?
As an apprentice you can earn money while you study, gain hands-on experience and get a nationally recognised qualification.
