If I'm eligible, do I have to pay the full course cost up front before I can get the subsidy reimbursement?
No! Unlike other training organisations who charge you the full cost and reimburse the subsidy at a later date, we do not charge an up front fee. If you are an eligible apprentice or trainee there will be nothing to pay, as all courses with CSQ subsidies are fully funded under the apprentice program.

What if I've finished my apprenticeship, can I still apply?
Yes! As long as you are in the first year out of your recognised apprenticeship or traineeship, you can still apply.
What if I'm doing my Apprenticeship or Traineeship through school, can I still apply?
Yes! Provided you are not getting funded from elsewhere for the same training course, and you are doing a recognised Apprenticeship or Traineeship.
What if I'm unemployed after doing my Apprenticeship, can I still apply?
Yes! As long as you are in the first year out of your recognised apprenticeship or traineeship, you can still apply.
