CITB INFORMATION
This course is eligible for CITB funding. The CITB is a whole-of-industry led organisation that provides support to attract, train and retain South Australian building and construction workers by providing leadership in training and skills development.

Each financial year, Eligible Persons with an approved CITB number can obtain up to $3,000 of training subsidies off any CITB endorsed short course, with a CITB endorsed training provider.

Upon receipt of enrolment, students will be sent an email with further instructions on claiming the CITB rebate. You do not need to provide your CITB number at the time of enrolment.

At the successful completion of a CITB eligible course, eligible CITB students will be refunded with the CITB subsidy. The subsidy will be paid to whoever paid for the course. TAFE SA cannot claim your refund (and therefore cannot reimburse you the funded amount) prior to the finish date. All CITB refunds will be credited against the student or third-party account and cannot be refunded back to credit cards.

Rebate refunds will be processed within 60 days of course completion (this timeframe is to allow for assessment submission, marking and processing).

The CITB number you provide to TAFE SA must belong to the individual participant – you cannot use the CITB number of another person or company.

  • All students must hold a Certificate III in Plumbing or current Plumbers License and evidence must be supplied at the time of enrolment.

    (If you have your plumbers licence but completed your Certificate III in Plumbing prior to 2012 it is likely that you do not hold the pre-requisite units to undertake this course and you may be required to undertake further studies with TAFE SA at an extra cost). Please email the Short Course team at shortcourses@tafesa.edu.au for any clarification)
