Certificate 3 Guarantee

What is the Certificate 3 Guarantee?

The 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.

It also supports school students to access training and Queensland’s Year 12 graduates to transition to employment by providing training in high-priority qualifications.

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.
