How to Enrol in Our Courses

Do you want to know how to enrol in a course?

The process to enrol is fairly simple, however being as our training is subsidised by Training NSW, we have a mandatory enrolment process that we must follow for all of our students in all of our courses.

This page is designed to explain these requirements and to walk you through the process to make it as easy as possible.

Once on the Online Enrolment Portal, please search for the course you are interested in enrolling in. If you cannot find this, please contact our staff for assistance.

Step One

2 x Proof of ID documents and your USI

Before starting your enrolment, make sure you have proof of your ID with you. You will need to upload confirmation of your identity as part of the enrolment process. We use this information to register you for the training and to request fee subsidy on your behalf with Training NSW. It is critical that you complete all of the necessary information to allow us to reduce your training costs as much as possible.

Remember to read all questions carefully and to answer all the questions that are asked truthfully. Your answers to these questions can result in reduced course fees, depending on your personal circumstances.

Select your payment method (if applicable). All students will receive an invoice for their course fees (if applicable). Payment plans can be discussed. Once all sections are complete, you can complete a final review of your application before pressing ‘Apply’.

When you have successfully completed your application for enrolment, a copy will be emailed to you. Once your application has been approved, you will receive a welcome email from the RTO.

What’s Next?

Alongside your confirmation of enrolment and course particulars, you will receive your login details for our Learning Management Systems.

You will need to complete a short online learning module known as the LLN (Learning, Literacy, and Numeracy) module. The Government requires all subsidised RTO’s to make sure that all students feel comfortable undertaking their particular course, so we are obligated to confirm that our students are comfortable with the level of foundation skills required to undertake this course.

You will receive information pertaining to the commencement of your course, such as your trainer, your commencement materials, etc.

Then we get underway and work towards your successful completion.

Fee Subsidy

We are a smart and skilled contracted Registered Training Organisation (RTO). That means the NSW Government subsidises our delivery of training to you. However there still remains a fee due payable by the student to the RTO.

To ensure that we are being upfront with our students, you will see the maximum fee for your courses when you enrol (assuming this is your 1st Qualification). Unfortunately we cannot assess your actual fee until you have completed your enrolment and we can process your specific circumstances. If you would like to discuss your possible fee before enrolling please don’t hesitate to call us directly. After your enrolment we will contact you directly to detail any fees owing. If you are unable to make payment for the training fee, we do allow for payment plans, or instalment plans to assist the student with the fees.

Already hold one or more qualifications? You’re administration fee may be slightly higher than the maximum highlighted on our enrolment portal. Want to confirm your estimate prior to enrolling? You can either contact us and request a quote for your specific circumstances or you can access Training NSW’s Smart and Skilled website which will allow you to estimate your fee’s based on your circumstances. Just follow the link below and click on the Fee Estimate button.

Fee Exemptions

An exemption is where no fee is charged to the student. For exemptions, the government subsidises the total cost of the qualification.

Fee exemptions are available to eligible students who:

  • are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander (through descent, self-identification or community identification)
  • meet the Smart and Skilled disability criteria (proof of a disability support pension or documentary evidence from an appropriate medical professional is required)
  • are the dependents of disability support pension recipients.

Concession fees

Concession fees are discounted fees for disadvantaged people who are studying for qualifications up to and including Certificate IV.

The concession fee applies to the whole qualification and is a flat fee set for each qualification level, ranging from $80 for a foundation skills course to $240 for a Certificate III or IV.

They are available to eligible students who:

  • receive a specified Australian Government welfare benefit or allowance at the time of their enrolment (e.g. age pension, carer payment, Newstart allowance, Veterans’ Affairs pension, single parenting payment or youth allowance)
  • are the dependants of a recipient of specified Australian Government welfare benefits or allowances.

Please call us if you wish to discuss the fee position of your course and your enrolment.
