Funded students are advised:

• Students are advised to read the program fact sheets here or refer to the government's website here.
• The student handbook should be read before enrolment as it contains information relevant to your course: fees, refunds, complaints, appeals, TnCs, placement and other information.
• Students are required to complete the Training and Employment Survey within 3 months of completing or discontinuing a subsidised qualification.
• Students will no longer be eligible for a government subsidised training place under the Certificate 3 Guarantee once they complete a certificate level III qualification.
• Students will no longer be eligible for a government subsidised training place under the Higher Level Skills program once they complete a certificate level IV or higher qualification.
• Course fees for funded enrolments are non-refundable once an application is approved (unless ITAC cancel a course).
• Funded students should note the progress requirements and in particular the requirement to meet assessment due dates in order to maintain their position in the course. Students who are withdrawn due to not meeting progress requirements are required to pay a reinstatement fee to be considered for re-enrolment. See the student handbook (Progress Requirements & Reinstatement) for the full policy and current fees.
• The invoiced per unit fee is calculated by dividing the relevant advertised co-contribution fee by 17 ($2.94 per unit for concession and $5.88 for non-concession). This calculation is used for all enrolments regardless of the number of units enrolled.
