What is a School -Based Apprentice/ Trainee (SBAT)?
SBATs spend one to two days per week undertaking paid part-time work in Years 11 and 12, with additional days worked during the school holidays. Depending on the qualification, they must work a minimum of 100 days (Plumbing and Electrotechnology 180 days, Carpentry 144 days, Automotive 130 days, all others 100 days over two years). They complete a traineeship qualification or the first year of their apprenticeship by the end of Year 12.
When at school students study a HSC program customised to their vocational goals. This is combined with formal Certificate II or Certificate III level training in our TTCs.
Upon successfully completing Year 12, students are awarded the HSC and their training qualification.
