Frequently Asked Questions

Apprentices & Trainees

Will I get time at work to complete my qualification?2026-02-09T00:08:10+00:00

As an apprentice, you will usually be allocated one day per week, or a block release period, where you will attend your Registered Training Organisation (RTO) for training. 

For traineeships, you are typically allocated 3 hours per week to complete your studies at work. Scheduling this can be discussed with your BGSA Field Officer and your Host Supervisor. 

Do I get paid while completing an apprenticeship or traineeship?2026-02-09T00:08:48+00:00

Yes, apprenticeships and traineeships are paid employment positions. As a BGSA employee, we’ll pay you weekly based on the relevant industry Award. Some of our Host Employers also agree to pay Apprentices and Trainees at above-Award rates. 

How long is an apprenticeship or traineeship?2026-02-09T00:09:06+00:00

Apprenticeships are typically 4 years, while Traineeships are generally 1-2 years, depending on the qualification. There is also the potential for early completion if you complete your formal training early.
