Fees and charges

The NSW Government contributes to the cost of each course and the learner pays the balance. Fees are calculated for full qualifications, rather than year-by-year. Learners choice of training provider does not affect the fee learners pay for qualifications.

The Student Fee Calculator can be found on the ‘Find a Course‘ page of the Smart and Skilled website.

Fee-free traineeships

From the 1 Janaury 2020, the NSW Government is making new traineeships fee-free, meaning no more upfront training costs for students or employers. Find out more from vet.nsw.gov.au
