School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships

Types of SBATs

There are two types of SBAT arrangements:

Type A

• 'off the job’ training, requiring at least 13 hours a week (7 hours of paid employment and 6 hours of training) over 3 periods of 4 months in each year of the program

Type B

• ‘workplace-based’ training where the student undertakes a minimum of 13 hours of paid employment a week
• at or above Certificate III level, the student is withdrawn from normal work duties for at least 1 hour a week to undertake structured training. This 1-hour minimum is averaged over a 4-week cycle
