Is it free?
This training is subsidised by the NSW Government under the Smart and Skilled program fro eligible students.
PLUS, as a registered volunteer of the College, we will cover any remaining student contribution, meaning there’s no cost to you.
You may be eligible for NSW Government-subsidised training under Smart and Skilled if you:
- are 15 years or older
- are no longer at school
- live or work in NSW
- are an Australian citizen, permanent resident, humanitarian visa holder or New Zealand citizen
- have, or are applying for, a Unique Student Identifier (USI).
Previous qualifications generally do not prevent you from accessing subsidised training. Not sure if you’re eligible?**** Contact us and we’ll check your eligibility and confirm the fee before you enrol.
When will I start volunteering? Training and volunteering are separate opportunities. While you’re welcome to do either or both, there’s no fixed start date for volunteering. We’re always looking for new volunteers and love getting to know your interests so we can keep you updated on opportunities as they come up across the organisation.
Still have questions? We’d love to chat! If you’d like to know more or talk through the opportunity, just reach out via email - [email protected]
Please note the training opportunity to complete the Certificate II in Community Services qualification is subject to eligibility and availability. Students will be selected for the program at the sole discretion of Sydney Community College.
