Frequently Asked Questions

The questions we hear most. If yours is not here, ask us — the form is at the bottom of the page.

Are your courses nationally recognised?

Yes. Sage Education Australia is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO 5989) regulated by ASQA. Every qualification we issue is recognised across Australia.

How long does a course take?

Certificate III courses take around 16–26 weeks; Certificate IV and Diplomas 6–12 months; skill sets 2–8 weeks. Duration depends on your timetable and placement availability.

Can I study while working?

Yes. We run day and evening classes and blended options. Placement shifts are scheduled around your availability where possible.

Do I need experience?

No. Certificate III courses have no prerequisites beyond the LLN check. Certificate IV and Diplomas may require a lower qualification or relevant experience — see each course page.

What is a USI?

A Unique Student Identifier — a free lifelong reference number for all your nationally recognised training. Create one at usi.gov.au; we can help at enrolment.

Can I visit a centre first?

Absolutely — book a tour through the form and we will show you the training rooms and introduce you to a trainer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a government subsidy?

Yes, for many of our courses. Sage is a Queensland Government Skills Assure Supplier, delivering subsidised training under Career Start (Certificate III) and Career Boost (Certificate IV, Diploma, Advanced Diploma and skill sets). Eligible students pay a small co-contribution. Some courses, including First Aid, aren’t subsidised. Talk to our team to find out what you qualify for.

Can I study online?

Yes, we do offer online delivery of some of our courses. However, you may need to attend a workshop to acquire practical skills mandatory for vocational placement.

We assess your situation at the time of enrolment and suggest an appropriate study mode.

Do you guarantee employment?

We do not guarantee employment. However, historically, most of your graduates secure employment as soon as they complete their course.

There is overwhelming employment demand currently, and you are very likely to secure a position if you follow our guidelines.

Who will organise my vocational placement?

We will organise your vocational placement when you’re ready to do so. However, please note that you must meet all requirements and acquire practical skills before your vocational placement is confirmed.
