Good to know

How training and placement fit together

Training is delivered by RTOs

Place Bridge is not a registered training organisation. We do not deliver, market or enrol students into nationally recognised training. You choose and enrol with a registered training organisation yourself.

Find a registered provider

Every RTO registered in Australia, and every qualification it is approved to deliver, is published on the national register at training.gov.au.

We arrange the placement

Once you are enrolled, we source the host workplace, match you to it and manage the placement through to signed-off completion.

Already enrolled?

You can request placement support whatever RTO you study with. We just need the placement requirements your RTO has set.
