About Smart & Skilled
In 2015, eligible Smart and Skilled students contribute, on average, between 10% and 45 % of the course cost, the NSW Government subsidises the remaining amount. Each government-subsidised qualification has a fixed price (regardless of training provider), which is determined by the NSW Government.
Smart and Skilled student fees are for the whole qualification. This means you’ll know, upfront, the total cost of the training.With Upskilled, to make it even more flexible, we have also made payment plans available. The exact fee a student pays depends largely on their eligibility.To find out course costs please complete the form above or call 1300 009 924 and speak to one of our Education Managers.
