How does a Traineeship work?

Traineeships combine paid employment and nationally accredited structured training through Proed College. Commonwealth and State Governments encourage and may financially support the training of new and existing employees of Australian companies. This is to promote:

• higher quality and accessible training at various levels within industry;
• employers offering a structured career and educational pathway; and
• employees to take advantage of a structured career and educational pathway

In general Proed College traineeships take between 12 and 24 months to complete.  The traineeship qualifications available are Certificate II, Certificate III, Certificate IV and Diplomas across the Financial Services sector.
