Additional Government Funding For Students from 2023

At FYI Training we make studying an easy process. Now more students than ever are eligible for government funded training opportunities. We also provide interest free payment options. See below if you are eligible for government funding.

Tuition fees vary and are based on a number of different factors such as nominal study hours, qualification level and course type. The student fees as published are subject to change given individual circumstances at enrolment. You will receive a statement of fees once your application for enrolment has been processed. You, your employer or another third party can pay your tuition fee.

  • a New Zealand citizen

Limitations:

You must be physically present in Victoria while participating in training and assessment.

You are limited to two skills first courses at a time and two courses in one year.

For traineeships:

Apprentices and trainees get paid while they are training, and they can also apply for additional financial support from the Australian Government.

Exemptions and Ineligibility:

Certain courses (outdated and superseded courses) as well as high priority courses like '22510VIC – Course in Identifying and Responding to Family Violence Risk’ do not count towards your two-a-year limit.
