On the Job Training is proud to be a CSQ-approved training supplier for the 2026–27 funding period.
This means if you’re an eligible worker in the Queensland building and construction industry,
you can access heavily subsidised short courses with us.
Construction Skills Queensland (CSQ) provides funding to help construction workers upskill and stay safe on the job. Through this program, CSQ covers most of your course cost, and you’ll only need to pay a co-contribution fee.
For some courses, the co-contribution is $0 – fully funded. For others, it ranges from $100–$920, depending on the licence or unit.
You may be eligible if you:
Work in the Queensland building and construction industry (or have been unemployed for less than 6 months from the industry)
Are an Australian/NZ citizen, permanent resident, or hold a CSQ-approved visa and have worked in the industry for at least 6 months
Are actively involved in hands-on construction work
You can complete up to 8 subsidised short courses between 1 October 2026 – 30 September 2027
Of these, a maximum of 3 High Risk Work (HRW) licences (e.g. dogging, rigging, scaffolding, cranes)
And a maximum of 3 Mobile Plant Operator (MPO) courses (e.g. excavator, skid steer, haul truck)
Important: Any CSQ funding accessed before 30 September 2026 (under the 2025–26 program) does not count towards your new 8-course allocation. Your funding cap resets each year.
