TAFE NSW Fee Information: 1) A TAFE year consists of two 18-week long semesters. The minimum charge for a program is one semester, even if your program lasts less than 18 weeks. If the program lasts between 18 weeks to a year, it counts as two semesters. 2) If your program runs for more than one semester, you may pay in two half-yearly payments. 3) All fees must be paid up front at enrolment. NO CASH is accepted - you may pay by EFTPOS, Visa card, MasterCard, cheque or money order. 4) If you receive a government benefit such as Youth Allowance, Austudy, or Newstart and provide documentary proof at enrolment, you may be eligible to pay a concession fee of $52 per course enrolment, rather than the full TAFE NSW Fee. 5) In addition to the TAFE NSW fee, some programs have Course Related Charges associated with them. Course Related Charges are collected to provide you with materials, resources, equipment and services to use in your program of study. If your circumstances do not enable you to pay this charge you will need to speak with your teacher when you commence class to negotiate alternative arrangements. 6) Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander students are exempt from paying the TAFE NSW Fee. 7) Disability Support Pension students and students with a disability receive a full fee exemption for one TAFE NSW course per year and are eligible for the $52 concession charge for subsequent enrolments in that year. All TAFE NSW courses run only if there are sufficient resources and demand. HOW TO ENROL: Enrolments for this course will be on 26 October 2011 at ArmidaleCampus.
