Co-Contribution Fees

Students receiving funding under the Certificate 3 Guarantee program must contribute towards the cost of their course/training. The co-contribution fees differ for each course; refer to the following table/s for pricing.

Please note, pricing may be different for delivery methods (online, campus and workplace). The price tables detail the fees and charges due prior to any outcome being reported. Fees are always rounded down.

Fees are broken down to a unit level so students can calculate the cost of their course accurately when they have Credit Transfers* applied.

Fees may be paid on your behalf by an employer or another third party (but not by Strategix). If you are required to pay fees personally you will be given a payment advice that details the total amount due and a payment schedule.

 Fees are calculated by Course Fee ÷ No Units – Credit Transfers and Gap units = Total due.

Info

Example: If a course fee is $20 and the qualification contains 13 units and the student 3 Credit Transfers, the course fees will be calculated as follows:

 $20 ÷ 13 = $1.53 per unit

 $20 – 3 Credit transferred units @ $1.53 = $15.35 total

*Credit transfers must be supported by a copy of the certificate, statement of attainment or USI transcript.

Students have the option of choosing multiple methods to pay for their course fees (i.e. eftpos, in person, over the phone), refer to the Fees and Charges Information Sheet for more details.

  • The Student holds a Health Care concession card or Pensioner concession card issued under Commonwealth law, or is the partner or a dependant of a person who holds a Health Care concession card or Pensioner concession card, and is named on the card; or

Student Fee

Strategix must collect a student contribution fee, it may be paid on behalf of the student by their employer or a third party unrelated to the Strategix, but cannot be paid or waived by Strategix, unless approved in writing by the department.

Invoices for students will be generated and sent to the client after students are approved for funding. The payment amount includes the compulsory Student Contribution Fees. Students will not be charged for individual subjects which are Credit Transferred or Transitional Gap trained.

When a student converts from a school-based trainee to a full-time or part-time traineeship, the student contribution fees will be charged for training and assessment for any units of competency not yet commenced. This does not apply when the student is under 21 and is undertaking a high priority qualification as identified by the department (refer to next page*).
