Victorian Training Guarantee (VTG) Eligibility Check

Am I eligible for a government-subsidised training place?

In 2018 you are eligible for a government-subsidised training place if you are:

  • an Australian citizen
  • an Australian Permanent Resident (holder of a permanent visa)
  • a New Zealand citizen

and are any of the following:

  • under 20 years of age
  • seeking to enrol in an Approved Foundation Skills List course
  • seeking to enrol in VCE or VCAL
  • seeking to enrol in an apprenticeship
  • 20 years and older and ‘upskilling’ by seeking to enrol in a course at a higher level than your existing qualification

How many courses am I eligible for?

In 2018 you are eligible to begin two government subsidised courses, as long as you are not doing any more than two government subsidised courses at a time. For example, if you are continuing a government subsidised Certificate III from 2018, you can start one more course in 2018 until you finish (or withdraw from) your Aged Care course, then you can start a second course in 2018.
