Course Fees

Course Fees are reviewed annually and adjusted based on amendments in training requirements i.e. depth and breath, industry, nominal hours, inflation, government guidelines etc. Current fee for service costings for certificate courses and licences are kept and available on our website or by request.

All course fees paid are for access to learning resources, tuition and the assessment process.  If a student does not successfully complete the assessment after two attempts, extra fees may apply.  These fees will be negotiated on a case by case basis.

All Fees are considered fair and reasonable taking into consideration industry averages and recommended course charges, depth of knowledge and skill requirements, resource development and use, trainer fees and administrative costs.

Fees are to be paid on the first day of course / program prior to commencement, unless otherwise negotiated with Sun Coast Training and Accreditation. If a student chooses to pay fees in advance the fees will be held in a bank account in full until course commencement as per AQTF requirements.

Fees can be paid by cash, eftpos, credit card and/or EFT

Students will be informed of the total cost of their course/program prior to commencing. If the student is unclear as to the total fees they need to inform SCTA prior to undertaking any training so we are able to best provide for all training needs.

If there is to be any adjustments in training fees during the period the student is undertaking the course/program i.e. addition of subsequent units, packaging of tickets/qualifications, the student will be notified of the fee adjustment for consideration prior to any changes being implemented.

The Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process will not be undertaken until fees have been paid unless otherwise negotiated by SCTA.

Loss of materials will result in replacement fees.

Replacement Certificates are $25.00 per certificate.

User Choice students will be subject to a Student Contribution Fee, which is outlined in the User Choice Policies & Procedures. User Choice students will not be subject to any additional charges outlined in this document.

Licenced courses attract a licencing fee payable to Australia Post. This is in addition to training fees and have no connection with SCTA

Refunds

Fees held are fully refundable until up to 3 days prior to course roll out unless materials have been provided, or work has been carried out at request of the student. In this case an administration fee will be charged to cover these costs.

Cancellations made within 3 days prior to a course maybe subject to the deduction of an administration fee of 10% of the total course to cover administration already covered in the preparation of the role out the course/program.

Any fees that have been paid for a course that a student has commenced is non-refundable except under circumstances of financial hardship or extenuating circumstances. These situations will be considered in good faith and may allow a partial refund to participant.

A cancelling student may complete the course/program at a later date within the training package time frame, rules and regulations and guidelines, and the AQTF. This information will be supplied upon request of the student. If in the event that there have been qualification training package changes in the time lapsed, and/or the student needs new materials they may be subject to materials fees and an administration fee.

If a trainee/client cancel’s their enrolment once the RPL process has been commenced, fees for the hours of input and services already performed will be subtracted from fees received. The sum to be refunded will be based on these considerations. In some circumstances the trainee/client will not be subject to a refund. All work undertaken by the trainer on the RPL at the point of cancellation will become the property of the trainee/client.
