Check Eligibility

Check Your Training Options in About 60 Seconds.

Tell us a little about your location, course interest and residency status. We’ll use that information to help identify training options that may be relevant to you.

Initial Eligibility Check

Tell us about your training goals.

Complete the form below so we can better understand your course interest, state and circumstances.

This form is an initial enquiry only. Final eligibility, funding, fees, course availability and enrolment requirements are confirmed by the relevant training provider.

What Happens Next

From enquiry to the right provider conversation.

Your initial answers help us understand which pathway may be appropriate before you speak with the training provider.

1

We review your enquiry

We look at your course interest, location, residency status and other information you provide.

2

We clarify possible options

We help explain relevant course, funding or self-funded pathways that may be available.

3

You connect with the provider

The relevant training provider confirms final eligibility, fees, availability and enrolment requirements.

What We Consider

Eligibility can depend on several factors.

Your circumstances

  • Your state or location
  • Your residency or visa status
  • Your course interest
  • Your previous training or study, where relevant
  • Your preferred training pathway

Course and provider requirements

Eligibility may also depend on the specific course and training provider.

  • Provider enrolment requirements
  • Course availability
  • State funding rules
  • Funding program availability
  • Any applicable student contribution or fees
Government-subsidised training is not automatically available to every student.

Government-funded training may be available to eligible students, depending on the course, training provider, state and individual circumstances. Government-funded does not always mean free, and a student contribution may apply.

Important Information

This is an initial options check, not a final funding approval.

The Shepherds Education is an education marketing and guidance service. We help prospective students understand their options and connect with partner training providers. Training is delivered and qualifications are issued by the relevant registered training organisation (RTO).
