Types of apprenticeships and traineeships

Apprenticeships and traineeships can be undertaken on a full-time basis, or part-time basis, depending on the type of employment you are in - your employment arrangement determines which type of training contract you enter into for your apprenticeship or traineeship.

Each type of training contract has slightly different requirements you need to meet – these will be explained to you when you set up the apprenticeship or traineeship.

School-based apprenticeships/traineeships are a type of part-time training contract, designed to allow young people to commence employment based training while completing year 10, 11 and 12 of their education.

The approved apprenticeships/traineeships in Tasmania list details which courses are approved to be delivered in Tasmania for each type of apprenticeship and traineeship.
