Frequently Asked Questions

What is a short course?

A short course is a compact training program designed to build specific skills quickly. It may last from a few hours to several months and is often non-accredited, though some provide certificates or microcredentials.

Are short courses worth it?

Yes, especially for career changers or job seekers wanting to boost skills in a short time. Many short courses improve employability, support re-entry into the workforce, or act as a stepping stone to formal qualifications.

Can I access government funding for short courses?

Yes. Programs like JobTrainer and Fee-Free TAFE support certain short courses in areas with strong job demand, such as aged care, IT, and construction.

Can I study a short course while receiving Centrelink?

If your short course is approved and you’re receiving payments like Youth Allowance or Austudy, it may be eligible. Check course eligibility via Services Australia.

What are the best short courses for finding a job quickly?

Short courses in digital skills, aged care, hospitality, and business admin are popular for job-readiness. Look for those aligned to sectors with skill shortages.
