CSQ Funded Training

Funded Training for Building and Construction Industry Workers

Safety & Emergency Training are proud recipients of Construction Skills Queensland (CSQ) funding contracts to deliver Short Courses – Building & Civil Construction in the Northern region to eligible workers within the Queensland building and construction industry for the contract period 1st October 2025 to 30 September 2026.

Construction Skills Queensland 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, generally between 75% and 100% of course costs.
