Do you want a change in career and turn your experience into a qualification? Do find yourself in the position of needing some financial assistance?

Why not let someone else pay for your course?

Do you want a change in career and turn your experience into a qualification?

If the answer is yes you might also find yourself in the position of needing some financial assistance to do just that, especially during 2020, which is turning out to be an interesting year.

Have you heard of Skills Checkpoint for Older Workers?

Through this scheme you may be eligible to receive financial assistance from the Australian government to help pay for your qualification.

I give them a 4/10 for the name, but it's definitely a 10 out of 10 scheme and we've had a number or students take advantage of it. So why not you?

The main eligibility criteria are as follows:

1. You must be 45 to 70.
2. You must be an Australian citizen or a permanent resident.
3. The eligible applies to any of our course which contain modules under the Australian Nationally Recognised Training (NRT) Scheme such as the
BSBSS00128 Lead Auditor Skill Set qualification. Our Exemplar Global recognised courses such as the Lead Auditor Quality Management Systems (ISO 19011:2018 | ISO 9001:2015) are not covered by this scheme. Please see here for other payment methods we offer.


So, what does it look like in practice? From my experience with students, you register via this link and if you are eligible you pay for half of the qualification and the government will pay the other half.

It’s not often that the government gives away money is it, so apply now.
