Are you eligible for Smart and Skilled training?

Forsythes Training makes it easy for you to determine if you are eligible for subsidised Smart and Skilled funding for your training.

What is Smart and Skilled funding?

Smart and Skilled is a Government funded training grant program that provides people living or working in NSW with access to government subsidised competency- based training courses in a range of courses and qualifications. 

As an approved Smart and Skilled training provider Forsythes Training can help individuals and employers to take advantage of Government funding to develop the skills needed to boost productivity, performance and for career advancement.

Smart and Skilled Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for NSW Smart and Skilled funding you must be:

• 15 years old or over
• no longer at school
• living or working in NSW
• an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, humanitarian visa holder or New Zealand citizen.

If you meet all four criteria then you’re eligible to enrol in a government-subsidised course with an approved Smart and Skilled training provider such as Forsythes Training.

Students with disabilities, students who receive Australian Government benefits or allowances and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students may qualify for additional fee exemptions or concessions.

Eligibility for a government-subsidised Smart and Skilled course no longer depends on previous qualifications. While previous qualifications do not affect eligibility, they may affect the student fee.
