Declaration - Guide to completing the Declaration of an apprenticeship or traineeship and the allocation of User Choice funding arrangements application

Apprenticeships and traineeships in Queensland are declared by the Department of Employment, Small Business and Training (the department) under delegation from the chief executive, under the authority of the Further Education and Training Act 2014 (FET Act).

Under section 8 of the FET Act, the chief executive’s delegate has the authority to declare employment-based training which leads to a qualification or statement of attainment to be an apprenticeship or traineeship.

These guidelines have been developed to assist a proponent in completing the “Declaration of an Apprenticeship or Traineeship and the allocation of User Choice Funding Arrangements Application”.

The proponent can also refer to the Declaration of Apprenticeships and Traineeships policy which outlines the requirements for each apprenticeship and traineeship when being declared.
