The Certificate 3 Guarantee is a state government subsidy that supports eligible individuals to complete their first post-school certificate III level qualification.
The Certificate 3 Guarantee (C3G) is a Queensland Government initiative that helps eligible students access subsidised training in select Certificate III qualifications, making it more affordable to take your next career step. Whether you’re starting out, re-entering the workforce, or upskilling for better job opportunities, C3G can help reduce your course costs and set you up for success.
At Demi International, we’re a Skills Assure provider, approved to deliver C3G-funded training in eligible qualifications. Not all Certificate III courses qualify for C3G funding, so it’s important to check if your chosen course is covered.
