Training and further education concessions
Government funded training and further education concessions.
Help with fees
Training providers set tuition fees at a level that they believe the quality, cost and reputation of their training warrants. You should shop around for a course and price that is right for you.
Concession card holders, their dependants and veteran gold card holders enrolling in qualifications up to Certificate IV level pay only 20 per cent of the standard course fee. Students studying a diploma qualification or above may also get financial help through the Australian Government’s VET FEE-HELP scheme.
