Funding & Fees
The Smart and Skilled funded program is set-up so that all eligible students (subject to criteria found on the Smart and Skilled website) enrolling in a full qualification must incur a student fee for undertaking a course. However, under the Smart and Skilled Targeted Priorities Prevocational and Part Qualification Program (enrolment in one or more units of competency), no fee will be charged for the student training. However, additional fees may be charged to the employer for training outside of the nationally recognised qualification training scope.
Any additional fees will be charged to the student’s employer as per the structure agreed to in the direct negotiations between CTPM and the student’s employer.
CTPM has developed and implemented the above Fee policy in accordance with the Smart and Skilled Contract and in particular the Fee Administration Policy, click here to view.
