Traineeships
What is a traineeship?
A traineeship is typically a year-long program that combines two primary modes of training: In classroom training, for structured learning opportunities, and on-the-job training and experience. Once you complete all of the course requirements, you will receive your Certificate from a nationally recognised program.
Types of traineeships:
- New Entrant Traineeships
- Existing Worker Traineeships
- Employee-based Traineeships
New Entrant Traineeships
- Be an Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident
- Have worked for less then 3 months full time or 12 months part time with their current employer or have completed the pre-requisite qualification less then 3 months prior.
New Entrant Traineeships are available for almost all of METS qualifications as long as the student is eligible for this kind of study.
Existing Worker Traineeships
- Be an Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident
- Have worked for more than 3 months full time or 12 months part time with their current employer or have completed the pre-requisite qualification more than 3 months prior.
Training costs for Existing Worker Traineeships are invoiced to the employer in 3 intervals and are in most cases offset by incentives. Further to this, an enrolment fee applies, with a bond being returned from this fee upon successful completion of the qualification.
Employment-Based Training
Employer-based training is a great way to get your staff skilled! With METS your team will receive regular face to face visits by a professional and qualified METS trainer, providing training and assessment on site with personalised and quality support.
Your trainee will receive onsite visits by their METS trainer/assessor, who will present and discuss the course materials in depth and will answer any questions or concerns your trainee may have then and there on the spot. Along with this, your trainee’s on the job skills will be assessed during visits in consultation with the onsite representative. We ensure that your trainee is receiving holistic training and developing a full understanding of each unit of competency within their qualification so that theoretical work and practical skills meet the National Standard.
Absolutely. We’ve been told by hundreds of our happy clients that they choose us because of our personable nature, quality training programs & one-on-one support. It’s training with a difference!
Of course! Just let us know at the time of enrolment and we’ll take care of the rest. If your trainee discovers difficulties part way through their traineeship, we’ll also be happy to explore what additional assistance may be available. Just be sure to let us know!
All METS course materials are written in an accessible format. And naturally, as your trainee will receive visits from their METS trainer, they’ll have the opportunity to clarify their understanding of the course work face to face. And on top of all of this, your trainee may be offered the opportunity to clarify their theory responses with their trainer/assessor and possibly establish competency based on a combination of written and verbal assessment.
We certainly do. If your trainee has received competency in a current unit of their qualification previously, or have 5 or more years on the floor experience working in the sector, METS are happy to offer Credit Transfer and/or assistance to work towards a qualification via Recognition of Prior Learning.
