Funding support for your construction course

Back to Basics Business Training understands that affordability is an important factor when choosing a training provider. We offer flexible payment options and can help you explore government-funded training pathways that may reduce the cost of gaining your building and construction qualification.

Government-funded training programs

Australian federal and state governments offer a range of funding programs designed to support people entering or advancing within the construction industry.

Eligibility can vary depending on factors such as:

  • Your state or territory
  • Employment status
  • Residency or citizenship status
  • Previous qualifications
  • Age or apprenticeship status

Our team can help you better understand whether subsidised training or funding assistance may apply to your chosen course.

Common funding pathways for construction training

  • State and Territory Subsidised Training

    Some government-funded programs may reduce or partially cover course fees for eligible students.

  • Fee-Free Training Initiatives

    Certain states offer fee-free or low-cost training opportunities for priority construction qualifications.

  • Employer-Supported Training

    Some employers contribute toward staff training costs as part of workforce development or licensing requirements.

  • Apprenticeship and Traineeship Incentives

    Funding assistance or incentives may be available for eligible apprenticeships and traineeships within the construction industry.

  • VET Student Loans

    Eligible diploma-level qualifications may allow approved students to defer part of their tuition costs through the VET Student Loans program.

Flexible payment plans to suit your budget

In addition to government funding pathways, we offer interest-free monthly payment plans to help make course costs more manageable over time.


We accept Visa and Mastercard, and our team can work with you to set up a payment arrangement suited to your circumstances.
