Additional Information for Skilling Queenslanders for Work (SQW) Programs

Our Skilling Queenslanders for Work (SQW) programs operate differently from our standard courses. SQW training is funded by the Queensland Government and is designed to support eligible participants into employment. Because of this, specific eligibility criteria apply, including residency requirements and suitability for the program.

SQW courses are currently available only at our Caboolture, Ormeau, and Southport training locations. If you’re interested in completing an SQW‑funded qualification, our team can help you understand the requirements and confirm whether you’re eligible.
