training across most areas of interest to a student or employed
persons seeking further education. We can provide programs in
almost any discipline you choose. And we are appropriate to
any size organisation. As an individual who would like further
training in a chosen field we offer primary courses through
our own network of qualified trainers delivering classes to
your work place in a convenient and time saving manner. We differ
from other organisations by choosing off-campus venues, smaller
classes and offering delivery flexibility and engaging courses
customised to working student needs.
Weekend Options
This is a sensible option for busy students or working applicants
as it enables you to complete your programs faster than you
would normally do attending classes for 1-2 hours per week.
Completion times can be reduced from 12-24 months to four months.

to find yourself eating from a vending machine. Then you get
home after 9.00 tired out and needing to get ready for the next
day. Select your course from this website. If you can’t find
what you’re looking for, then contact us as there are many courses

government funds to enable business to up skill its workforce.

too busy to investigate to program suitability for their own
needs, and allow the opportunity to pass them by.

we can arrange everything. All your employer needs to do is
complete some simple forms and we can help organise that as

FOR
THE EMPLOYER
Government funding for the Re-Skilling Australia Program
started late in 1990s, when most employers were required to
contribute an additional 1 percent in tax. When the Government
finally got around to returning the payments in form of services,
the whole process had become too complex and difficult to
navigate. SkillZone has developed specialised knowledge of
the system and makes it easy and fast for you to access funded
programs for your employees. So let us organise training for
your staff and take advantage of the offers available. And
best of all, you don’t have to pay us to do this on most Employer
Based Funded Courses. (There is a charge if you require programs
not covered by the government course training guidelines.)
