Training Hours

In reply to Mr BOYER (Wright) (29 July 2021). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education): I have been advised of the following:

Overall recorded training hours completed amounted to 11.4 million for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 compare to 10.2 million for the previous year.

This included 6.8 million of government subsidised training hours completed for the financial year ended 30 June 2021. This represents a 27% increase compared to the same period last year of 5.4 million.

A further 0.7 million training hours were delivered to regional communities, prisoners and metropolitan cohorts compared to 0.9 million for the same period last year.

Fee for service comprise the balance of the training hours completed and activity for the year ended 30 June 2021 was consistent with the prior year.
