How it works

Built for people already in the job.

Existing workers only

Every skill set is for people currently employed in community services and health — including parents and unpaid carers of NDIS participants for the disability sets. A short employer letter is all we need.

Up to 2 funded skill sets

Career Boost subsidises up to two skill sets per person — $15 or $20 a unit. Additional skill sets at $200 a unit. We check your entitlement at enrolment.

Online, with live classes

Self-paced online with weekly or fortnightly live classes. Four to ten weeks. Group delivery for employer teams on demand.

Understanding your Career Boost skill set entitlement

The Queensland Government’s Career Boost program funds higher-level qualifications and skill sets in priority industries. Under Career Boost you may access:

  • One subsidised Certificate IV, Diploma or Advanced Diploma qualification, and
  • Up to two subsidised skill sets in priority industries or sectors

You can enrol in more than two skill sets with Sage — additional skill sets are available at the fee-for-service rate. Not sure whether you’ve already used your entitlement? We check for you as part of enrolment (via the Apprentice Info Self Service system) and confirm your eligibility before you start.

Employer evidence requirements

All Sage skill sets are delivered to existing workers. Under the Queensland SAS framework we must verify your existing worker status at enrolment and keep the evidence. We can accept one of:

  • Employer letter on official letterhead, signed and dated within 7 days of enrolment, confirming your name, position, employment status (full-time / part-time / casual / contract), length of employment, and that your duties relate to the skill set.
  • Employer email from an official employer address, dated within 7 days of enrolment, with the same information and a signature block identifying the signatory and their role.
  • Employment contract, dated and signed, showing a role and job description that relates to the skill set. If it’s more than 12 months old we may also ask for a recent payslip.

We may also request: 1–2 recent payslips; for parents and unpaid carers of NDIS participants (CHCSS00124, CHCSS00128) a current NDIS letter (may be redacted) showing the caring relationship; and where the sector requires it, a copy of your Blue Card, National Police Certificate or NDIS Worker Screening Check.

Not sure your evidence will meet the requirements? Talk to our team before you gather documents.

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.
