Types of Funding
As an RTO with over 25 years experience, Major Training Group deliver courses that are eligible for a range of funding options that essentially fall into four categories: State Funding, Industry Funding, Federal Incentives, and Self-Funding.
State Funding - QLD & NSW
This is where the government pays for all or part of your course fees for you. Subsidies are for priority qualifications and other courses and can be found across a wide range of industry areas.
Industry Funding
Industry funding involves financial contributions from private businesses or sectors to sponsor training courses, often aiming to address specific skill gaps or to align the training with industry needs and standards.
Federal Incentives
Federal incentives refer to various rewards offered by the central government to encourage participation in training courses, often with the goal of boosting workforce skills, innovation, or economic growth.
Self Funding
Self-funding means individuals or organisations cover the costs of training courses from their own financial resources, without external support or subsidies from governments or industries.

There are multiple funding options available to you for various courses through State Funding. We can give you advice and guidance on which funding options fit best with your skills and goals!
