The College has a Smart and Skilled contract in NSW that subsidises most College qualifications across the state; with only the compulsory Enrolment Fee being payable by the employer or student.

Fees are in accordance with the NSW Skills List with most courses attracting a 50% discount from our standard fees. 

The College allows you to pay the enrolment fee on a payment plan or you can pay in 2 instalments. Our goal is to make sure you have this once-in-a lifetime opportunity to upskill.

There are fee exemptions and concessions.

Refer to the Smart and Skilled page for details of subsidised courses.

The Jobs and Skills WA  government subsided courses attract a compulsory Student Contribution Fee which is an hourly rate for each nominal hour of study in each calendar year.

The fees quoted will be fees for the whole qualification based on the 2018 rate applicable for the relevant Training Program, but will vary based on the units of competency chosen, and if there is a government rate change in subsequent years.

There are also fee concessions available.

An invoice for any adjusted amount is issued at completion of your course.

Refer to the Jobs and Skills WA page for details of subsidised courses.

Under the QLD Certificate 3 Guarantee and Higher Level Skills Program rules, all subsidised students must be charged a co-contribution fee. We call this your enrolment fee. These fees are:

Applicable student enrolment fees are displayed on each course page under Check Price. They represent a significant discount from the standard course price

All student fees are inclusive of all aspects of training.

All College courses are available at a fair price, with an interest free payment plan.

For enrolments in Short Courses i.e. specific units or subjects the applicable fee is the % of units to be studied compared to the number required for the award of the qualification.

For example, to complete 2 units of competency in a qualification that requires 10 units of competency and costs $4 400 - the fees would 2/10 x $4400 = $880

This fee applies where a Statement of Attainment has been issued. 

A minimum fee applies for the issue of a Qualification where Credit Transfers apply. See Incidental Fees.

RPL Fees are payable in addition to listed course fees. Refer to Policy and Procedures on RPL Processes.

Prior to students being charged the RPL Fee they will be given a quick verbal assessment of whether the RPL is likely to be successful based on the evidence they plan to submit.

RPL Fees apply as RPL is often a personalised training activity and so there are limited opportunities to minimise costs through economies of scale.

Credit Transfers are exempt from this fee.

RPL Fees for Individual Subjects / Units of Competency. These include the subject enrolment fee.

All listed course fees are applicable for the minimum number of units of competency required to achieve the qualification.

Additional units of competency can be added based on an additional fee of:

• $200 per Certificate II subject
• $300 per Certificate III subject
• $400 per Certificate IV subject
• $500 per Diploma subject
• $600 per Advanced Diploma subject.

Where the majority of a qualification is Credit Transfer from other RTOs or from another College course an additional  Qualification Issue fee is applicable. This is in addition to the course fees for the units undertaken in this course with the College, noting credit transfers attract no fee.

The minimum total fees applicable will be: $1000 for Certificate II or III; $1200 for Certificate IV; $1600 for Diploma and $2000 for Advanced Diploma.

This minimum fee will be calculated by adding the pro-rata course enrolment fees for the subjects undertaken (i.e. those that are not Credit Transfer) and then a Qualification Issuance Fee such that the minimum amount payable is no less than listed above.

Note the College will not normally agree to issue qualifications that involve all or the majority of units as Credit Transfer from other providers, so please enquire before enrolling and get a correct fee quote. 

Where enrolment in one course enables a student to also qualify for the issue of a second qualification a Dual Qualification Testamur Fee of $500 applies, unless this has been waived under a specific promotion or in a Client Services Agreement. This fee also applied if there is an embedded qualification. This is in addition to any additional subject fees.

This fee applies where the extension period approved exceeds the maximum published enrolment term, or traineeship term, or a student is discontinued by the College for failure to meet Student Participation Standards, and requests to recommence.

$500 applies for each further 6 month period.

This is payable in advance. Extension approvals are subject to qualification currency. The College is not obligated to approve an extension.

This fee applies for requested paper documents, rather than the available free electronic formats and includes standard postage within Australia if applicable.

Qualifications are regularly updated. The replaced qualification is called the superseded qualification; and has a "transition date" by which all enrolled students must be completed, or be enrolled in the newer qualification (if offered by the College).

The following Transition Fee applies to transitions to newer qualifications:

• $500 Certificate II and III
• $600 Certificate IV
• $800 Diploma
• $1000 Advanced Diploma

This fee also applies where students request to be transitioned before the transition date, when they may (in the Colleges judgement) otherwise have completed the superseded qualification within the time frame.

The College may waive the Transition Fee at its discretion and will waive the fee for students who were not given at least 6 months notice of the requirement to complete before the transition date.

Trainees are exempt from this fee.

NSW Smart and Skilled enrolments are exempt from this fee where the transition is approved by Smart and Skilled.

Students and trainees past their original course completion date must also pay the course Extension Fee for each extension period in addition.

The Administration Fee is $100 for private students and $500 for employer and traineeship enrolments.

The Administration Fee will be retained from fees paid to cover enrolment administration costs in the event that an enrolment does not proceed or is cancelled eg due to the lack of provision of required ID or a USI or for any other reasonable reason that an enrolment is cancelled.

Full refunds are therefore not given after a student has been approved for enrolment. This applies regardless of whether the student cancels their course before downloading or commencing a subject, noting that significant administration effort occurs to establish the enrolment prior to that time.

Qualification Testamur Certificates are posted for free within Australia by standard post.

You have the option to have your Qualification posted / provided to you in Presentation Folder. These fees include postage within Australia.

Original Certificates are issued at completion of your qualification for free. This fee applies for duplicate copies requested.

The fees are only incurred if the payment due dates are missed.

They are payable to The College in addition to any fees charged by any third party direct debit provider and banks.

If there is an incorrect fee advertised or used in the enrolment process the College reserves the right to apply the correct fee, regardless of how or why the error occurred.
