Course fees
The cost of programs offered by TAFE is often considerably less than those programs offered by universities or private training providers due to Government subsidies. Fees are dependent upon your chosen program of study. Once you have chosen a program of study, enrolment staff at your institute of choice will be able to provide accurate information about fees payable.
Program fees vary depending on the number of courses studied the contact hours and the cost of any incidental materials.
All fees and charges are levied according to the Training and Employment Regulation 2000 [PDF 438kb] and the institute fee policy. These documents are available in all TAFE institute libraries.
Fees and charges may vary between institutes, so contact your institute of choice for fee details.
