Smart and Skilled (NSW)

Smart and Skilled* students contribute, on average, between 10% and 45% of the course cost, the NSW Government subsidises the remaining amount. Each government-subsidised qualification has a fixed price (regardless of training provider), which is determined by the NSW Government.

How can I pay for the remainder of the course fees?

Smart and Skilled student fees are for the whole qualification. This means you’ll know, upfront, the total cost of the training. With Upskilled, to make it even more flexible, we have also made payment plans available. The exact fee a student pays depends largely on their eligibility.
