Skilled Capital is an ACT Government training initiative funded by the ACT and Australian Governments.
Through the Skilled Capital initiative, you can access government subsidised training from an approved registered training organisation. You may also be eligible to receive a range of support services to assist you to complete your chosen qualification. There is no additional cost for these support services.
Capital Careers is approved by the ACT Government to offer some of our courses under this initiative for eligible students.

Students will be eligible to receive the completion payment for up to 1 year after successful completion of the qualification, provided up to date email and bank account details are confirmed. A student is not eligible for a completion payment where more than 50% of the units are completed through RPL or credit transfer. A significant proportion of units completed through credit transfer may also impact on student eligibility for the completion payment.
