What training is available?

Students undertaking certificate III level training and non-concessional students undertaking lower-level vocational training are required to contribute to the costs of their training through a co-contribution fee.
The out-of-pocket expense to you will vary depending on the course you elect to undertake and is set by Foundation Education. This co-contribution fee is detailed on the Foundation Education website above and is made clear to you prior to your enrolment.
The co-contribution fee may be paid on your behalf by an employer or another third party. Foundation Education (or any other related organisation) cannot pay or waive your training fees unless explicit approval has been sought and received from the Department.
A fee will not be charged for any units not trained or assessed directly by Foundation Education (i.e., achieved through Credit Transfer).
Concessional fees may apply in certain situations which will result in a lower co-contribution fee as also determined by Foundation Education. The following students are entitled to concessions:
<ul>
 <li>students (or their partner or guardian) who hold a Health Care or Pensioner Concession Card</li>
 <li>Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students</li>
 <li>school students enrolled in a VET in Schools program</li>
 <li>students with a disability</li>
 <li>students who are adult prisoners.</li>
</ul>
For more information on whether you would receive a concessional student status, please refer to <a href="https://desbt.qld.gov.au/training/training-careers/incentives">DESBT&rsquo;s website</a> or feel free to call a Careers Advisor on 1300 616 197.

As a condition of your enrolment, you will be required to complete a student training and employment survey within three months of finishing or discontinuing your training.
