How much will your Smart and Skilled training cost you?

 

If you're eligible for subsidised training under Smart and Skilled, you pay only a portion of the training cost. The rest is subsidised by the NSW Government and they pay an average 55-90 per cent of the cost of each course.

You can determine your eligibility for Smart and Skilled training in the Eligibility Checker. You can then get an estimate of the fee for your preferred course in the Course Finder.

 

How your fees are determined

Smart and Skilled introduces a simpler, fairer system for calculating fees and subsidies. You only pay one fee for the whole qualification, rather than year-by-year. This means you'll know, upfront, the total cost of your training. (Check the arrangements for paying this fee with your preferred training provider. For example, you may be able to pay by instalments.) Read more
