How do I register an employee to become an apprentice?

Contact RMITO for an apprentice pack, which includes:

  • Training Agreement - a document signing the apprentice into formal training.  Download this document [PDF 54kb]
  • Template Employment Agreement - a written agreement between the employer and the apprentice listing the conditions of employment and obligations of each party. Your company may have its own employment agreement with the apprentice;
  • Training Requirements Booklet - explains the roles of the employer, the apprentice, and the RMITO in starting and completing an apprenticeship.

After receiving the Training Agreement from the Employer, the RMITO will:

  • Register the apprentice in the RMITO system;
  • Send a Training Manual to the apprentice and an Employer Checklist to the employer;
  • Organise annual block courses for the apprentice; and
  • Keep a record of the apprentice's achievements.
