What is NT Training Entitlement funding?
The Northern Territory Training Entitlement allows eligible NT students to enrol in subsidised Certificate III qualifications through to Advanced Diploma across a range of industries. The Northern Territory Training Entitlement also covers foundation skills or lower level qualifications needed to complete the qualification. The entitlement does not apply to the higher education sector.
The full cost of training is covered by the Northern Territory Training Entitlement. However, a non-refundable administration fee is charged and payable by all students.
Priority Groups
Access to training is based on highest level of previous qualification. Students who have not already completed a Certificate III (or higher) level qualification are place in a priority group. Students in the priority group can access any qualification offered under the entitlement.
