Traineeships and Qualifications: Overview

What are traineeships and qualifications?

NDA traineeships and qualifications give staff new skills as well as recognition of their existing skills. Training is competency-based, combining on-the-job and formal training. People of all ages can undertake a Traineeship or Qualification on-the-job. NDA specialises in Information Technology and Business qualifications, with the typical course duration being one to two years.

Very good course. Can recommend NDA to anyone wanting to learn more skills.
I have done many courses - all excellent.

Government incentives

Federal Government financial incentives may be available to employers of eligible staff. Additional funding may be provided by the State Government where businesses employ new trainees to undertake an approved vocational pathway. You may find that the funding provided covers the full cost of the qualification and, in many cases, you may have funding left over to allocate elsewhere in your training budget. *Funding information can be obtained from your local New Apprenticeship Centre (NAC) on 1800 639 629.

Margaret Burt was an excellent facilitator, with a very friendly and professional manner. I am very pleased that NDA has expanded their services to offer qualifications in Business and I highly recommend this course.

Without a doubt NDA Computing is the best RTO in Tasmania for IT Trainees. Being an IT company, the support they offer is well above and beyond their competition. NDA welcomes trainees into their Company as they would any other employee, which hugely helps in the crossover from school to workplace. Staff at NDA always went out of their way to make sure I was happy in my work and to offer their assistance in any way they could. I wouldn’t be where I am today working as a Network Support Officer with the Tasmanian Education Department if it wasn’t for NDA's brilliant trainee support structure. I will always remember my experiences with NDA fondly.
