WA School Based Traineeships

A school-based apprenticeship or traineeship is an employment-based learning pathway, which combines off the job training and on the job training that leads to a nationally recognised qualification. SBAT students can enter into an employment arrangement directly with an employer, or through a group training organisation (GTO).

What is WA Traineeships funding?

School Based Traineeships is a program under Jobs and Skills WA.

If you’re currently a secondary school student, you have the opportunity to study a nationally recognised vocational education and training (VET) qualification while still at school.

VET programs can:

develop your employability skills (for example; communication and problem solving skills);
give you industry specific skills and an understanding of the world of work; and
help you to explore and plan your career options.

If you do a VET qualification while you are a full time secondary student, this may also count towards your Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE).

I am studying a Certificate 4 in School Based Education. Jenna, my trainer, is absolutely awesome. She is friendly, encouraging and attentive. No question is too silly and she explains everything so well. I would definitely recommend studying with Accco. The website is easy to use and very resourceful.

I have been with ACCCO now for the last 2 years, I have completed my Cert 3 in Early Childhood and have continued straight into my Diploma. My trainer Kristie has been fantastic - she has been more than accommodating and has been kind and understanding even when I lost my study-mojo! I am so happy with the support and curriculum being provided and the in depth learning I have from ACCCO - I feel like I am learning so much with them!
