Training Benchmarks for Visa 457 and 186 ENS 

Benchmark A & Benchmark B Compared:

There are currently two benchmarks – employer sponsors may choose which benchmark they will meet. The training benchmarks are defined as:

         Training Benchmark A – Applied if sponsor doesn’t employ Australian Permanent Residents

• Contribution by employer sponsors of at least 2% of recent payroll to an Approved Scholarship Fund or Industry Training Fund
• Commitment to maintain this contribution for the term of approval as sponsor

• Training Benchmark B – applied if sponsor employs Australian Permanent Residents

• Contribution by employer sponsors of at least 1% of recent payroll to the provision of training for their employees who are Australian citizens and permanent residents
• A relevant course of study relates to the business of the applicant, but is not narrowly limited to the occupation of the employees. Training which contributes to the professional development of employees can be counted towards the Training Benchmark
• Commitment to maintain this contribution for the term of approval as sponsor
