Training Contract Extensions

Please be advised that the Apprenticeship Office assesses requests to extend training contracts to ensure that on and off the job training is conducted effectively and within the prescribed nominal duration.

As part of this assessment, the Apprenticeship Office may request the employer to provide evidence demonstrating that the apprentice/trainee will complete all on and off the job training within the requested extension period.

If you have any questions about this process, please contact us on 13 19 54 (option 1) or via email at apprenticeshipoffice@dtwd.wa.gov.au

Removal of paper-based forms - effective 1 March 2024

Over the period of an apprenticeship or traineeship training contract, it may be necessary to make changes to the training contract.
From 1 March 2024, the paper based forms will be phased out and all training contract change requests must be submitted digitally through the WAAMS portal. 

In most instances, submitting a change via the WAAMS portal gives stakeholders the ability to have the requests instantly approved, replacing the requirement to submit forms by email and resulting in much faster response times.

Our team is available for training sessions and/or calls to address any questions or concerns that may arise during this transition.

Additionally, user guides on how to submit training contract changes via the WAAMS portal are available to view:
