Training Fees

The new fees and charges framework is effective for enrolments in Victoria commencing 2008. 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)
