Subclass 407 Training Visa - Visa Globe: Australian Migration specialists

The 407 visa allows foreign nationals to participate in workplace training programs with Australian employers who intend to satisfy registration requirements, enhance skills, and build occupational capacity.

The visa will allow you to remain in Australia during the stay period granted (up to a maximum of 2 years) to do the training specified in your visa application

This work visa is ideal for those who may not meet the requirements of other employer sponsored visas, though still wish to gain experience with an employer.

The Training Visa has three streams:

Workplace-based training required for registration

This type of occupational training is for people who are required to undertake workplace-based training to obtain registration, membership or licensing in Australia, or their home country, in order to work in their occupation.

Structured workplace-based training to enhance skills in an eligible occupation

This type of occupational training is for people with recent and suitable experience in the nominated occupation, who are seeking to undertake a structured workplace-based training programme in relation to an occupation specified in the list of eligible skilled occupations. Workplace-based occupational training (not including professional development) must be for at least 30 hours a week, of which no more than 30 per cent can be classroom-based.

Training that promotes capacity building overseas

This includes the following categories:

Overseas qualification – This category enables students who are currently enrolled in a foreign educational institution and who are required to complete a period of practical training, research or observation to obtain their qualification, the opportunity to undertake up to six months structured workplace-based training in Australia.
Government support – This category allows for structured workplace-based occupational training which has the support of a government agency in Australia or the government in the home country of the nominated trainee.
Professional development – This category enables overseas employers to send their managerial or professional employees to Australia to undertake a tailored professional development programme of face-to-face teaching in a classroom or similar environment.
