  • Queensland Traineeship Fees

    Understanding Traineeships Fees in Queensland

    ACCM fully understands the below information can be difficult to follow.  If you have any questions regarding any of this information please reach out to us and we are more than willing to explain the below in detail.

    The fee displayed on the Course Page is a cumulative fee that shows the Student Contribution Fee and if required an Employer Fee (explained in detail below) as a displayed total.

    Understanding the Student Contribution Fee

    For all state-subsidised Traineeships in Queensland delivered under Skills Assure, a Student Contribution fee applies.

    There may be an additional employer fee (explained below), however all Traineeship require the Student Contribution Fee, except as outlined in a further paragraph.

    The Student Contribution Fee varies based on the exact Units of Competency selected for the Qualification to be completed as part of the Traineeship.

    Each Unit of Competency is allocated a 鈥渘ominal hours鈥 fee (ie 20 hr, 25 hrs, etc) by the government that is tied to State-subsidised funding, and is not a factor in the length of time the Unit should take to achieve to complete.  It is purely part of a funding determination process.

    The QLD Student Contribution fee is currently $1.60 per nominal hour for all Units in the Qualification.

    The fees quoted on each specific course page in the Fee Checker are a nominative fee (placeholder fee) which will vary based on the actual Units of Competency chosen as well as any reductions/exemptions outlined in this section.

    To repeat, the nominative fee displayed is based on this preliminary Student Contribution Fee AND any potential employer fees.

    In most cases, the Employer chooses to pay the Student Contribution Fee on behalf of the Trainee, but not always. 

    This decision is made between the Employer and the Trainee, and is not part of the RTO鈥檚 oversight.

     

    Student Contribution Fee Reductions and Exemptions

    Under the User Choice Policy, a Partial Exemption of the Student Contribution Fees applies for certain categories.

    Per the QLD User Choice Policy found : 

    2.6.2 Partial exemption - tuition fees

    The SAS (ACCM College) must charge 40 per cent of the student contribution fee where the participant falls into one or more of the following exemption categories:

    (a) The participant was or will be under 17 years of age at the end of February in the year in which the SAS provides training, and the participant is not at school and has not completed year 12.

    (b) The participant holds a Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card issued under Commonwealth law, or is the partner or a dependant of a person who holds a Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card, and is named on the card.

    (c) The participant issues the SAS with an official form under Commonwealth law confirming that the participant, his or her partner or the person of whom the participant is a dependant, is entitled to concessions under a Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card.

    (d) The participant is an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person. Acceptable evidence is as stated on the Training Contract and AVETMISS VET Enrolment Form.

    2.6.3 Full Exemption of Student Contribution Fee

    The SAS may apply full exemption from the student contribution fee where the participant falls into one or more of the following exemption categories:

    (a) Where payment of the student contribution fee would cause extreme financial hardship, then the SAS may waive these fees

    1. The fee waiver process should be in place at the time of the participant鈥檚 enrolment.
    2. For 2.6.3 (a) of this Fees and Charges section, the SAS must have a reasonable internal process to manage an appeal about the outcome of an application under financial hardship.

    (b) Where the Queensland Government, as represented by the departmental officer responsible for the User Choice budget, advises in writing that fees are optional. On receipt of such advice, the SAS may choose not to collect the student contribution fee. In this circumstance, any decision by the SAS not to collect fees does not create a liability for the department. The SAS may not apply for reimbursement by the department of fee revenue foregone.

    Refer to the User Choice Price List, as published on the department鈥檚 website, for information on where fee exemptions are applicable. The SAS must apply full exemption from the student contribution fee where the participant falls into one or more of the following exemption categories:

    (a) where credit transfer/national recognition has been applied to a unit of competency/module

    (b) the participant is a school-based apprentice or trainee

    (c) the participant is undertaking a qualification as part of the Skilling Queenslanders for Work 鈥 Work Skills Traineeship program.

     

    ACCM Required Employer Fee

    In some cases, where state-subsidies do not fully cover training costs, an additional Employer Fee will apply, these are includes in the quoted cost as shown on the Fee Tracker.

    This is allowable under the QLD User Choice Policy found : 

    2.6.5 Additional charges

    Employer/industry The SAS may seek additional charges from the employer/industry. Any additional charges must be negotiated up-front and disclosed to the employer/industry prior to the participant鈥檚 enrolment.

    In cases where the Employer does not intend to pay for the Student Contribution Fee, please let ACCM College know and we will provide a detailed breakdown of costs to assist.

     

    Unfunded or non-State Funded Traineeships

    For a Traineeship not on the funding list, or not within ACCM's funding allocation, Traineeship fees will be as per the College's published Employer Program price or as agreed with the client on a fee for service basis.

    For example, the TLI30321 Certificate III in Supply Chain is a funded Traineeship in Queensland, however it is not on ACCM's approved Traineeship list under User's Choice.

    ACCM is still able to deliver this as a Traineeship, however as we will not receive any state-subsidy, the fee will be the same as a private or Employer Program price.

     

    ACCM fully understands the aboveinformation can be difficult to follow.  If you have any questions regarding any of this information please reach out to us and we are more than willing to explain the below in detail.

RPL and Incidental Fees

  • RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) Fees

    RPL Fees are payable in addition to listed course fees. Refer to Policy and Procedures on RPL Processes.

    Prior to students being charged the RPL Fee they will be given a quick verbal assessment of whether the RPL is likely to be successful based on the evidence they plan to submit.

    RPL Fees apply as RPL is often a personalised training activity and so there are limited opportunities to minimise costs through economies of scale. If the time taken to process the RPL is less that the time we have factored into our pricing below you will be given a proportionate refund (however please do not anticipate any refund as RPL assessment is time intensive).

    Course Level

    RPL Fees

    Certificate III

    $500 minimum or $200 per unit whichever is the greater

    Certificate IV

    $1000 minimum or $300 per unit whichever is the greater

    Diploma

    $1400 minimum or $400 per unit whichever is the greater

    Credit Transfers are exempt from this fee.

     RPL Fees for Individual Subjects/Units of Competency are calculated on the same basis and the minimum fee applies as above.

  • Undertaking Additional Subjects

    All listed course fees are applicable for the minimum number of units of competency required to achieve the qualification.

    Additional units of competency can be added based on an additional fee of:

    • $300 per Certificate III subject
    • $400 per Certificate IV subject
    • $500 per Diploma subject
  • Minimum Qualification Testamur Issuing Fee

    Where the majority of a qualification is Credit Transfers from other RTOs or from another College course, an additional Qualification Issue fee is applicable. This is in addition to the course fees for the units undertaken in this course with the College, noting credit transfers attract no fee.

    The minimum total fees applicable will be $1500 for Certificate II or III, $1800 for Certificate IV and $2200 for Diploma.

    This minimum fee will be calculated by adding the pro-rata course enrolment fees for the subjects undertaken (i.e. those that are not Credit Transfer) and then a Qualification Issuance Fee such that the minimum amount payable is no less than listed above.

    Note the College will not normally agree to issue qualifications that involve all or the majority of units as Credit Transfer from other providers, so please enquire before enrolling and get a correct fee quote. 

  • Dual Qualification Testamur Fee

    Where enrolment in one course enables a student to also qualify for the issue of a second qualification a Dual Qualification Testamur Fee applies:

    • Certificate III level qualification - $1500
    • Certificate IV level qualification - $1800
    • Diploma level Qualification - $2200

    The above fees apply unless this has been waived under a specific promotion or in a Client Services Agreement. This fee is also applied if there is an embedded qualification. This is in addition to any additional subject fees.

     

  • Extension of Enrolment Term Fee

    This fee applies where the extension period approved exceeds the maximum published enrolment term, or traineeship term, or a student is discontinued by the College for failure to meet Student Participation Standards, and requests to recommence.

    $500 applies for each further 6 month period.

    This is payable in advance. Extension approvals are subject to qualification currency. The College is not obligated to approve an extension.

  • Transition to Newer Qualification Fee

    Qualifications are regularly updated. The replaced qualification is called a superseded qualification and has a "transition date" by which all enrolled students must be completed, or be enrolled in the newer qualification (if offered by ACCM College).

    The following Transition Fee applies to transitions to newer qualifications:

    • $500 Certificate II and III
    • $600 Certificate IV
    • $800 Diploma

    This fee also applies where students request to be transitioned before the transition date, when they may (in the College's judgement) otherwise have completed the superseded qualification within the time frame.

    ACCM College may waive the Transition Fee at its discretion and will waive the fee for students who were not given at least 6 months notice of the requirement to complete before the transition date.

    Trainees are exempt from this fee.

    NSW Smart and Skilled enrolments are exempt from this fee where the transition is approved by Smart and Skilled.

    Students and trainees past their original course completion date may also be asked to pay the course Extension Fee for each extension period in addition.

  • Administration Fee Component in the Enrolment Fees

    The Administration Fee is $100 for private students and $250 for employer and traineeship enrolments.

    This fee is deducted from Enrolment Fees paid in the following circumstances.

    The Administration Fee will be retained from fees paid to cover enrolment administration costs in the event that an enrolment does not proceed or is cancelled e.g. due to the lack of provision of required ID or a USI or for any other reasonable reason that an enrolment is cancelled. 

    The Administration Fee will not be retained if the College does not approve an enrolment application for which fees have already been paid. In that event a full refund is applicable.

    Full refunds are however not given after a student has been approved for enrolment. This applies regardless of whether the student cancels their course before downloading or commencing a subject, noting that significant administration effort occurs to establish the enrolment prior to that time.

  • Optional Qualification Testamur Certificate Presentation Folder

    You have the option to have your Qualification posted/provided to you in a Presentation Folder. These fees include Registered Post within Australia.
