Apprenticeships and traineeships made simple by Alan Montague Futures have many starting points. By combining training and employment in one package, traineeships and apprenticeships offer a great alternative to full time study. Traineeships usually last one year. Trainees are employed under a state government-approved contract.
Apprenticeships usually last three to four years.
Apprentices are employed under a contract approved by industry and the State Training Board. To undertake a traineeship or apprenticeship, you must be employed. In the majority of cases RMIT delivers training in the work-place. Successfully completing a traineeship or apprenticeship can earn you credit towards TAFE certificate courses that in almost all cases provide credits toward TAFE diplomas, which in turn have credits to degrees and beyond. The employer's payroll tax and the salary paid is reduced during training.
