About Skills for All​

Skills for All is a South Australian government initiative that will change the way vocational education and training is funded in South Australia.

The South Australian government has committed $194 million additional funding to help support an additional 100,000 training places from July 2010/11. 

It will give South Australians the opportunity to gain more qualifications, many at low or no cost, through the training provider of their choice. Eligible individuals will be able to access subsidised training from July 2012.

An individual will need to meet course entry requirements and verify their eligibility with the approved training provider of their choice before being enrolled in government subsidised training.

Qualifications at Certificate level I and II will be fully subsidised which means there are no course fees. Qualifications at Certificate III level and above will be partially government-subsidised and students will be expected to pay a course fee as well as any relevant incidental fees.

The Subsidised Training List will list those courses that will be available to eligible South Australians. You will need to check with an approved Skills for All training provider about what courses are available through them. You can enrol in more than one course with more than one provider at the same time. 

Skills for All training providers will only be allowed to charge a course fee (Cert III and above) within the set minimum and maximum range, for any given course. This means that different training providers may charge a different course fee for the same course. Skills for All training providers are required to publish their course fees.
