Certificate 3 Guarantee

The Certificate 3 Guarantee supports eligible individuals to complete their first post-school certificate III level qualification and increase their skills to move into employment, re-enter the workforce or advance their career.

The program also supports school students to access training and Queensland’s Year 12 graduates to transition to employment by providing free training in high priority qualifications.

To be eligible to enrol into the Certificate 3 Guarantee program you must:

  • Be a permanent resident of Queensland aged 15 years or above;
  • No longer be at school (with the exception of VET in school students);
  • Not have completed or be enrolled in a Certificate III (or higher qualification), this does not include qualifications completed at school; and
  • Be an Australian or New Zealand citizen or Australian permanent resident (including humanitarian entrants), or a temporary resident with the necessary visa and work permits on the pathway to permanent residency.


Employment status does not matter – a participant can be unemployed and seeking work, or working on a full-time, part-time or on a casual basis.


Not eligible? Contact us on 1300 003 478 to discuss other options.

Co-contribution fees can vary based on the course and the student’s concessional status. Refer to course overview for the qualifications.

Under the Certificate 3 Guarantee, the Queensland Government provides a subsidy for a range of Certificate III level qualifications.

At Human Resource Training we offer a range of government funded courses to suit the needs of our students. 


The full list of Queensland government subsidised qualifications is available on the Priority Skills List.
