— WHAT WE HANDLE

The whole administrative load. Off your plate.

01

Student matching

We match each student to a workplace near them, based on availability, interests and travel time.

02

Training Plans & RTO

We coordinate with the RTO (ATC in NSW, Southern Education elsewhere) and lock in the Training Plan.

03

School integration

We make sure the traineeship counts towards your state's senior certificate — and we keep your VET coordinator in the loop.

04

Welfare & reporting

Regular check-ins with the student, semester reports back to you, and a real human you can call when there's an issue.

— COMMON QUESTIONS

For school coordinators

How does the SBAT count towards the HSC / QCE / SACE / VCE / WACE?

It varies by state, but in most states the traineeship contributes credit points towards the senior school certificate. We work directly with your school coordinator to make sure it's set up correctly.

Who manages the paperwork?

We do. Schools tell us this is one of the main reasons they keep referring students our way — we handle the RTO, the Training Plan, the workplace agreement and the reporting.

How disruptive is it to student's school timetable?

Dependent on which State you are in. Most students do their shifts after school and on weekends. Some work during school release days. Some leave school early to start their shift. Study sessions are scheduled around evenings and school holidays where possible.
