Victorian Training Guarantee
Goal Training & Development GTD can announce that it has secured a contract to offer Government Subsidised Training as part of the Victorian Training Guarantee. This is a great new initiative that will see more training subsidised for more people. From the 1st of September, 2011 all courses at GTD including Certificate 2,3 and 4 Hospitality and Certificate 2 and 3 Retail are eligible for Victorian Government Subsided training places.
The following applicants are eligible as part of this new initiative (all applicants must meet Australian Citizen / Residency requirements):
- Australian Citizen

AND
- Anyone aged between 15 – 19 years of age (on Jan 1st of current year) can complete any qualification
- Anyone aged 20 years of age and over (on Jan 1st of current year) can complete any qualification as long as it’s above what they already hold (eg. if they hold a Certificate II qualification they can only complete a Certificate III qualification).
Enrolment fees
