CSQ Short Course Building and Civil 2024-25

Construction Skills Queensland (CSQ) is an independent, not-for-profit, industry-funded body supporting employers, workers, apprentices, trainees and career seekers in the building and construction industry. 

CSQ provides funding to reduce the financial obstacle to training, making upskilling an affordable option for many more individuals in
the construction industry.

CSQ-funded training is delivered by a range of selected registered training organisations (RTOs) across Queensland.

CSQ contributes towards the cost of courses to reduce the cost to participants. CSQ funding is paid directly to the contracted RTO.

Short courses are individual competencies and skills sets designed for workers wanting to upgrade their skills and knowledge, meet compliance requirements, get a licence or diversify their skills. The Short Courses program provides funding to assist with upskilling and cross skilling workers in the building and construction industry.

How the Funding Works

Some of these short courses are scheduled on our public training calendar. Once you are enrolled and complete the CSQ Eligibility Form we can allocate the CSQ contribution towards your enrolment. 

If you have a group, you may book a dedicated course for your organisation as long as you meet the minimum numbers of eligible funded attendees. Minimum numbers vary for each course, so please check with our friendly staff to determine how many people you need to meet this requirement. Maximum numbers for each course is set at 10 participants, and you must pay the per person amount indicated for each attendee; the balance is subsidised by CSQ.

If you don’t have enough people to cover the minimum numbers, you can still book a dedicated course, and you are simply charged the difference between how much the funded people cover and the full course cost. Our team will assist you in calculating the residual cost if this situation arises.

 

Additional Costs and Expenses

Where training is conducted outside the immediate Cairns, Townsville or Mackay areas, then additional costs will be applicable. Any airfares, travel, accommodation, meals and materials freight incurred in the provision of this training will be on-charged. Please contact us for a formal quotation for courses conducted outside of these major centres.

 

Course Venue and Equipment

These courses may be conducted in our training rooms in Cairns, at the School of Rigging facility in Townsville, or on-site at client premises. Where courses are conducted on-site then a suitable venue and white board are to be provided by the client company. The venue shall have sufficient tables and chairs for participants to be seated comfortably for the duration of training. Any catering costs shall be borne by the client company. Please contact us to discuss alternate arrangements if there is any difficulty in providing these facilities and equipment.
