Fees & costs

The fee for this course is $4780.
The NSW Government is changing the way job-related training is provided through a reform called Smart and Skilled which is aimed at getting more
people qualified for the jobs NSW needs. The qualifications for these jobs are all on the 2015 NSW Skills List. The fee that is displayed is the price for a
student completing their first qualification and meeting eligibility criteria. The fee you pay may be lower or higher depending on your personal
circumstances and eligibility for a subsidised place, a concession or an exemption. In some cases there are limited government subsidised places
available. Remember, the fee you pay is for your entire qualification. You only pay it once, no matter how long your training goes for. If your course runs for
more than one semester in the same calendar year, you can pay your fees off in instalments over the period of your study. If the qualification you are
looking for is a Diploma or higher, you may be eligible for VET FEE-HELP (our version of HECS). Please contact your nearest Riverina Institute campus or
call 1300 TAFE RI (1300 8233 74) and let our friendly staff help you enrol in the right qualification, work out your fees and what youre eligible for and we
can get started! For more info visit http://www.training.nsw.gov.au/smartandskilled/students.html
TAFE NSW does not accept CASH. You may pay your TAFE NSW fee and course related charges online by MasterCard or VISA or at your local campus
by EFTPOS, MasterCard, VisaCard, cheque or money order made payable to TAFE NSW.

time. With Riverina Institute you can study exactly the way you want;
full time, part time, random times, on-campus or online. Working full

Absolutely. Living in a cave in your pyjamas? We can do that too!
Whatever time you can spare to study and whatever your particular
needs, we will accommodate. Being busy now wont get in the way of
your qualification or your future.

At Riverina Institute, we like our students to feel comfortable. We will

help you get familiar with your study requirements, campus facilities,
and who to contact. In addition to achieving your qualification, studying
with Riverina Institute introduces you to a wide network of friends and

of pathway arrangements with partner universities across Australia to
