FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS A TRAINING (SUBCLASS 407) VISA?
The Training visa allows an Australian organisation to sponsor
overseas candidates to undertake occupational training in their
workplace, under a structured training plan (see below).
A Training visa is appropriate in circumstances where people do
not meet the work experience requirements for a skilled visa, and
provides an opportunity for businesses to engage and
'upskill' overseas candidates in a workplace-based context,
so they can gain relevant work experience in their nominated
occupation.
The Training visa can be granted for a maximum period of two (2)
years, after which time the individual may be sponsored on a
skilled visa, such as a Temporary Skills Shortage (subclass 482)
visa.
