Interview as a Cert 3 position... offered a Diploma Traineeship

Hi,
I had an interview for a part time cert 3 position (which I'm fully qualified for)... After the interview I was offered the job but as a Diploma Traineeship.
Im just wondering what would be the best choice for me.
I understand that the government pays for the Diploma course as a trainee, but does that mean the wages go down? Im a bit confused because i read somewhere that the wages would be around $19/hr but then minus 20% as a trainee so you would only be earning around $15/hr....
In that case I think i'd prefer to pay for the course myself and do it via correspondence in my own time (which suits me more anyway)
Im also wondering why it wasn't brought up in the interview.... What would be the reason for this? I'm feeling a bit unsure about it all.
Can anyone help me understand a bit more?
Thank you.
