The training contract outlines your obligations as an employer, including on-the-job training requirements, to support your apprentice or trainee to achieve the qualification they're working towards.
It also includes the duration of the contract and probationary period.

Register before entering into a training contract.
Apprenticeships are flexible and can be changed to suit the needs of your business and your apprentice.
Over the course of training, you or your apprentice may want to change the arrangements in the training contract such as the hours of training, the qualification or the training provider.
Changes can be made to the training contract with the agreement of the employer and the apprentice (and their parent or guardian if they’re under 18).
To make a change to your training contract, complete the relevant form and submit it using our contact details on the form.
If you need assistance with training contract changes, please contact us on 1800 673 097.
We’ll advise you in writing whether the change has been approved and the contract altered.
Changes to the training contract must be agreed by both parties – employer, apprentice (and parent/guardian if the apprentice is under 18 years).
It’s unlawful for any person to pressure or use unfair tactics to gain agreement to a change.
During a dispute you continue to provide your apprentice with work, training and wages, and they continue attending training and work.
