Skilled Capital is an ACT Government training initiative, funded by the ACT and Australian Governments.

Currently ACT is not offering funding for courses ACCM supports under Skilled Capital (current as of July 2023) 

When funding is available, under this program, the ACT government subsidises a selection of ACCM College qualifications across the Territory. A compulsory Enrolment Fee applies, being payable by the employer or student. These are published on the relevant course pages.

The College allows you to pay the enrolment fee on a payment plan (eg weekly or fortnightly) or you can pay in 2 instalments (however, up front payment cannot exceed $1500). Our goal is to make sure you have this once in a lifetime opportunity to upskill.

The fees cover the required number of units to complete the qualification.

For Credit Transfers fees are reduced in accordance with ACT rules.

Refer to the ACT Funded Courses 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 vary based on the qualification and year of enrolment.

Applicable student enrolment fees are displayed on each relevant 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.

Concession fees are available for eligible students.

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 $5000 - the fees would 2/10 x $5000 = $1000

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.

The Australian College of Commerce and Management delivers high quality courses and qualifications at a very competitive price and possesses contracts to deliver government funded qualifications in most states.

We are able to keep our pricing competitive because of our use of technology to control our business costs and we strongly believe in full disclosure of all costs.

Please call us if you require any assistance or for more information, particularly for group based programs.

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. If the time taken to process the RPL is less that the time we have factored into our pricing below you will be given a proportionate refund (however please do not anticipate any refund as RPL assessment is time intensive).

Credit Transfers are exempt from this fee.

 RPL Fees for Individual Subjects/Units of Competency are calculated on the same basis and the minimum fee applies as above.

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:

• $300 per Certificate III subject
• $400 per Certificate IV subject
• $500 per Diploma subject

Where the majority of a qualification is Credit Transfers 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 $1500 for Certificate II or III, $1800 for Certificate IV and $2200 for 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 applies:

• Certificate III level qualification - $1500
• Certificate IV level qualification - $1800
• Diploma level Qualification - $2200

The above fees apply unless this has been waived under a specific promotion or in a Client Services Agreement. This fee is 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.

Qualifications are regularly updated. The replaced qualification is called a 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 ACCM College).

The following Transition Fee applies to transitions to newer qualifications:

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

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

ACCM 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 may also be asked to pay the course Extension Fee for each extension period in addition.

The Administration Fee is $50 for private students (which includes student undertaking studies as part of a Government Subsidised program such as NSW Smart and Skilled Entitlement Program) and $250 for employer and traineeship enrolments.

This fee is deducted from Enrolment Fees paid in the following circumstances.

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 e.g. due to the lack of provision of required ID or a USI or for any other reasonable reason that an enrolment is cancelled. 

The Administration Fee will not be retained if the College does not approve an enrolment application for which fees have already been paid. In that event a full refund is applicable.

Full refunds are however 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 a Presentation Folder. These fees include Registered Post 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.

Where the Fee is set under a funded program and we apply an incorrect fee for any reason we will be required to adjust and apply that fee. You have the option to instead cease your enrolment and be refunded as per our Refunds Policy.

Where the Fee is a discretionary fee we will discuss with you what a fair arrangement is based on the circumstances.
