-
You must be working in the ACT building and construction industry on projects subject to the Building and Construction Industry Training Levy Act 1999.
-
Eligible participants include employees, contractors, apprentices, or business owners engaged in levy-liable work within the ACT.
🎓 What Training Is Eligible?
-
The course must be accredited, delivered in real-time (either face-to-face or live online), and conducted by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO).
