School based traineeships
Most commonly, students will be indentured into a school-based traineeship which has a normal duration of two years, working one day per week with occasional school-holiday work. Students will also complete theory work in the form of specific units of competency as per a Training Plan set out by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), such as a TAFE college or institute.
A Certificate II is a nationally recognised qualification and can act as a step in to a full-time apprenticeship or traineeship once schooling is complete.
