Fees are calculated over the entire course*. It is the same price regardless of how many units you enrol each semester. Students who are part-way through their course will pay a proportion for the number of nominal hours remaining in their units.

 

From Certificate 3 > Diploma > Advanced Diploma

(Click the image to find out more)

The Certificate 3 is subsidised and well-priced, so it is the logical starting point for all new students - whether you are straight from school or already have a job. Trade qualified students can often get some credits.

The first 10 units gives a Certificate 3, the next 10 units converts this into a Diploma (20 units), and another 10 units achieves an advanced Diploma (30 units).

It is cheaper to do C3 first, then select your final course.

 

*What happens if you fail a subject?

Failing a unit may cost you money, eventually. The scheme is currently being finalised, but it is likely to end up something like this:

Paying for whole course gives student one attempt at each unit. If they fail a unit (even after re-sitting exams or re-submitting assignments before the final cut-off date), then they will (usually) be permitted to repeatt the unit in the next available schedule. If they do not pass the unit on the second attempt, the unit will be charged to the student for the third attempt.
