About QLD Certificate 3 Guarantee Subsidy

The Queensland Government’s Certificate 3 Guarantee supports eligible Queenslanders to complete their first post-school certificate III qualification and increase their skills to move into employment, re-enter the workforce or advance their career.

The Certificate 3 Guarantee subsidises your vocational education and training (VET) course fees. This means that instead of paying the full costs of a training course, you will pay a reduced amount, making training more affordable and accessible.

To be eligible to access the Certificate 3 Guarantee, you must:

  • be an Australian or New Zealand citizen, or an Australian permanent resident (including humanitarian entrants), or a temporary resident with an eligible visa subclass
  • be 15 years old or over
  • live in Queensland and have left school
  • not already have, or be enrolled in, a Certificate III level or higher qualification.
