Information and forms an apprentice or trainee will need to change the training contract
Probationary periods are built into training contracts as a way of allowing apprentices, trainees and their employers to withdraw from the apprenticeship or traineeship should either party decide it is not for them.
During the course of an apprenticeship or traineeship it may be necessary to suspend the training contract for any number of reasons.
To apply to extend your training contract, complete the extension application form and send it to TAS using the fax, email or postal address on the form.
Only TAS can terminate a Training Contract. TAS will generally approve a termination application if both you and your apprentice/trainee agree to the termination.
Sometimes there is a need to change employers while a training contract is under way. This might be due to a change of ownership or a change to a new employer.
If your apprentice or trainee was initially employed under a school based arrangement and has left school, or is no longer enrolled in SACE, you will need to apply to TAS to vary the contract from a part-time (school-based) apprenticeship or traineeship to a part-time or full-time (non-school-based) apprenticeship or traineeship.
If the apprentice or trainee’s part-time arrangement (number of hours in work and training) needs to change, this change needs to be reflected on the training contract as it affects the term or duration of the training.
You and your apprentice or trainee may decide that it is necessary to change the training provider.
