Government Skills Training Funding

Which Funding Option is Right for You?

We offer Self-Funding (Part 1) or Government Funding (Part-2 Apply Below).
Unsure whether to self-fund or wait for government funding? Here’s our guidance:

Choose self-funding if:

  • You want to start training immediately.
  • You have the means to structure payments over time.
  • Your chosen course is in high demand, and you don’t want to risk missing out.

Consider waiting for government funding if:

  • Your financial situation makes self-funding challenging.
  • You have flexibility on when you start training.
  • You’re targeting courses that frequently qualify for government support.
;

Our advice:

Speak to our admissions team.

We’ll give you honest guidance on typical funding availability for your chosen course and help you weigh the pros and cons of each option.

Part 2 – Government Funding

When Available!

From time to time, we’re privileged to offer government-funded training opportunities (or 3rd party funding) through various national and provincial skills development initiatives.

What this means:

  • Partial or full funding may be available for eligible learners.
  • Limited availability — these opportunities depend on government allocations and sector priorities.
  • Specific criteria apply — not all courses or learners qualify.
  • Application-based — we assist eligible candidates through the application process

Stay informed: We regularly update our website and social media channels when government funding windows open. If you’re interested in this option, we encourage you to:

  • Register your interest with our admissions team by completing the form below.
  • Follow our social media for funding announcements.
  • Check back regularly — opportunities arise throughout the year.

Undergoing maintenance, please return later.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

Whether you self-fund or access government funding, our promise remains the same:

  • Quality training — no compromise on education standards based on funding route.
  • Full support — from enrolment to employment, we’re with you every step.
