Subsidies & payment options
Queensland Government subsidy
You will no longer be eligible for a government subsidised training place under the Certificate 3 Guarantee once you complete a certificate III level vocational qualification.
Certificate 3 Guarantee funding
The Certificate 3 Guarantee supports eligible individuals to complete their first post-school certificate III qualification and increase their skills to move into employment, re-enter the workforce or advance their career.
It also supports school students to access training and Queensland's Year 12 graduates to transition to employment by providing free training in high priority qualifications.
For this course the subsidy could bring your cost of study down from $3,900 to $640 or $440 (Concession)
Certificate 3 Guarantee eligibility requirements:
- must be a Queensland resident;
- aged 15 years or over who is no longer at school (with the exception of VET in Schools students) and is an Australian or New Zealand citizen or Australian permanent resident (including humanitarian entrants), or a temporary resident with the necessary visa and work permits on the pathway to permanent residency;
- must not have a certificate III level or higher qualification, not including qualifications completed at school and foundations skills training;
- must not be enrolled in a certificate III level or higher qualification.
Ask your accountant if you are eligible to claim your self-education costs as a tax deduction.
How and when fees are charged
Subsidised training
The student co-contribution fee is charged upfront prior to enrolment, or by agreement we can offer a payment plan through our payment partner Debit Success. The co-contribution fee is divided by the number of units in the chosen course. Example:
13 units x $33.84 = $440 (the co-contribution fee)
All units in a course or program are commenced at the 'Start of Study' which is the commencement of the course.
Fee for service training
Fee for Service is applicable to students who aren't funded by the Queensland Government, and the full cost of the course is payable by the student. Students may enter into an agreement with our payment partner Debit Success and elect to have their nominated bank account charged through direct debit.
Payments by direct debit are progressively charged over the duration of the course, ordinarily spread over 12 fortnightly payments. Student's may make additional upfront payments, which will be deducted from their course fees, if they so choose.
The maximum amount we can charge prior to the Start of Study is $1,500. The full details and fees and charges for the service are provided on the Debit Success form available through our admin team.
