Helpful words to know in starting the traineeship process
Who is involved in the Traineeship process.
Signing up for a Government funded Trainee contract
Once eligibility has been determined the next steps are;
Standard Traineeships Contracts are normally 24 months. Some circumstances can warrant a shorter or longer contract, ask your Australian Apprenticeship Support Network about this upon sign up. Conquest Communications is not included at this level of the process
Employers should be prepared to employ the trainee for the full period of the traineeship contract and provide paid time at work to complete the training (online and practical). Trainees also need to complete study within their own time.
Trainees have a responsibility to be regularly logging in to progress through their online training. Conquest as the selected Supervised Registered Training Organisation have an obligation to report trainees who fail to progress with their training.
The Training Plan describes what training is to be undertaken and what sequence the training will follow, who provides the training and how, when and where this will occur. See the Certificate III in Telecommunications Technology course description for how Conquest Training is completed including the breakdown of online study, assignments, hands on days and field experience.
Training and Assessment

In your course information you can access each page as required. The full book will be supplied upon sign up as well. This is to be completed progressively throughout your training and handed in as you and your supervisor feels you are competent in the listed tasks. You will not be signed off as competent in a unit until this is received.
