Course Fees
Fees are different across our range of training options, depending on the number of hours within each unit of the course. Resources and materials like workbooks, essential uniforms and workshop materials are not included in the course fees, and these will be charged as an additional cost. Other fees that are not included in the course fees may include things like parking, student memberships and security passes.
There is no fee for Vocational Education & Training Delivered to Secondary Students (VETDSS).
Concession Card Holders
If you have a valid concession card, you might be eligible for reduced course fees. Currently concession card holders pay 30% of the full course fees (not including incidental, resource or other fees).
