Prices and payment arrangements
A fixed qualification price has been set for each qualification on the NSW Skills List.
The qualification price is calculated to cover the costs associated with training delivery and assessment, including teaching staff, administration, utilities, course-specific costs and capital costs. It covers both variable and fixed costs.
Approved training providers determine payment arrangements for their students. They must publish information about these arrangements and must inform students about them before enrolment.
