Your CITB number may be on hold for a few reasons:

2. Your employer is not registered with CITB. We will contact your employer directly to register with us or you can direct them to register online.

Alternatively, you can check the status of your CITB number.

Apprentice CITB numbers can take a week or longer to approve. This is due to processing times for training contracts. However, if you need your CITB number approved for training please contact us on 1800 739 839.

The Australian Apprenticeship Support Network (AASN) is your first point of contact for all queries about apprenticeships. The two AASNs in SA are:

1. MEGT
2. MAS National

When you commenced your apprenticeship, it is likely you would have engaged with an apprenticeship consultant from MEGT or MAS National. They may be able to assist you with any issues or challenges your are experiencing.

In South Australia, you can also seek assistance through Apprenticeships and Traineeship Services if you are not getting the training you expected or there are issues with the workplace.

The costs of training are dependent on your qualification and the trade school you attend. Most modern awards require the employer to either pay directly or reimburse the cost of trade training to the apprentice/trainee. More information can be found at Fair Work.

If your employer receives ATS (Apprentice Training Support) funding from the CITB, it is a condition of our funding that the employer pays the trade school's fees directly.

If you are unsure or have questions about your training contract you can contact your AASN - In SA, they are:

1. MEGT
2. MAS National
