Training Fees
The new fees and charges framework is effective for enrolments in Victoria commencing 2010. They apply to valid Victorian Government Funded Training Program (GFTP) enrolments in apprenticeships or traineeships. The fees are based on a $1.37 per nominal enrolled hour of tuition for a twelve month continuous period commencing at time of enrolment. For example, if you are enrolled for 450 hours the tuition fee would be $616.50 (450 hours x $1.37)

All students enrolling in government funded programs who are in receipt of a Commonwealth Health Care Card or equivalent concession, will pay the minimum tuition fee of $57 irrespective of the enrolled hours. To qualify for the Commonwealth Health Care Card and Pensioner Card concession the student must provide proof at the time of enrolment that they are the card holder, or the dependant spouse or dependant child of the card holder.
Maximum Fees
Irrespective of the total hours in a program, no student will pay more than $903 in tuition fees for a twelve month continuous period commencing at time of enrolment. Students not eligible for concessions pay $1.37 per hour, on a sliding scale up to $903 per annum. Payment plans can be negotiated.
