What is a Licence Agremeent?
The COHST Licence Agreement offers companies or individual trainers the opportunity to join an established network of qualified registered instructors. Based on a yearly subscription, this network is available in all Australian States and Territories.

- Course Materials and administrative documents (accessible through the secure trainer website)
- Swinburne certificates for competent students
- Potential for certificate and course customisation
- Trade pricing discounts
- Induction and support - conducted annually to ensure trainer competency
Types of Licence Agreement
1. Trainer Licence Agreement
Non-Registered Training Organisations (e.g. Self-employed and small business) gain access to COHST training recourses. Trainers then process their students through COHST administration which results in approved certificates being awarded to competent students.
2. Partnership Agreement (Material Licence)
Allows a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) to take advantage of COHST resources whilst being able to award students certificates from their own institution. COHST certificates are not available under this agreement.
