The Victorian Government’s 2012 Guidelines about fees apply to all Victorian Government-funded courses, including apprenticeships and traineeships and courses delivered through distance education. Separate fees and conditions apply to courses funded by the governments of states other than Victoria, according to the government directions relevant to each jurisdiction.

Your fees, or part payment thereof, must be paid prior to course commencement. If you have any difficulty in paying your fees please discuss this with us.

Note You will be provided with information on the start and end date of the units which you are undertaking. If you are unable to  complete your work within the required timeframe, and you have not formally requested an extension to the completion date or leave of absence, you may be required to re-enrol and pay tuition fees to complete the unit/course.

As part of your enrolment, you will be asked a series of questions relating to the above and you will be asked to provide relevant evidence to support your responses. You will also be required to sign a declaration attesting to the accuracy of your responses. If you are not eligible for a government-subsidised place, your training will be costed by the relevant teaching department. The following points will apply in this circumstance.

  • There are a limited number of exemptions from the eligibility criteria if you already hold a qualification at the same or higher level than the course in which you want to enrol in 2012. For more information about exemptions, please contact your enrolment centre or talk to your teaching department.
  •  You may be eligible for assistance through VET FEE-HELP (available only for courses at diploma and advanced diploma levels, whether they are government-subsidised or full-fee-paying).

Note: You may be eligible for a government subsidised place in a qualification at a level higher than the one you are applying for if you meet the entry requirements. Talk to your teaching department about this option.
