Government funding for vocational and TAFE courses in Darwin and NT
In the Northern Territory, two government funding programs exist. The User Choice scheme funds Australian apprenticeships and traineeships and Skills Checkpoint program provides tailored advice, direction, and subsidised training to help those older in age to retrain or upskill.
TAFEs and authorised Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) can provide funded courses. The NT government pays the course fee to the training provider upon enrolment. You may still need to pay some fees for facilities and services and study materials like textbooks.
Vocational education and training funding is available for various courses at various skill levels, including certificates II, III, and IV levels and above. Regardless of where you are in the NT—in Darwin or further afield—funding is available for eligible students.
All funding programs require that you live and work in the NT and that you are either an:
• Australian citizen
• Permanent resident
• New Zealand citizen
• Eligible visa holder
You can learn about the additional criteria for each program on the page.
