An apprenticeship pairs paid work with a registered employer alongside off-the-job training, usually over 3 to 4 years. A private RTO course, more common for international students, front-loads classroom and workshop learning over a shorter period, with practical trade experience and skills assessment often happening afterwards through employment. Both pathways lead to the same MSF30422 qualification.
