Approved training schemes

The VRQA determines which qualifications are available as apprenticeships and traineeships in Victoria. These are called approved training schemes and include terms and conditions, such as:

whether a qualification is available as an apprenticeship or traineeship
the nominal duration of an apprenticeship or traineeship
probationary periods.

Approved training schemes also specify minimum hours for employment and training for apprentices and trainees. For more information, see:

VRQA policy on minimum hours per week for employment and training (docx - 1.54mb)

Approved training schemes are published in the Victorian Government Gazette.

We usually update approved training schemes after a new training package has been released. We can also update training schemes to meet industry requests.
