Fees

At New Futures Training we believe that everyone should be given access to quality education at affordable rates. As a not-for-profit organisation our fees are practical, affordable and comes with fee assistance if required.

The amount you pay for your course depends on whether you’re offered

Government Subsidy

Full-Fee

The fees vary and are based on a number of different factors such as nominal study hours, qualification level and course type. The student tuition fees as published are subject to change given individual circumstances at enrolment. We have a financial hardship policy to assist individuals unable to cover their fees.

You will receive a statement of fees once your application for enrolment has been processed.

The fees stated in the Statement of Fees section will remain constant for the calendar year of your enrolment.


Skills First Program

The Skills First program is a Victorian Government initiative designed to assist eligible students with their tuition fees.

If you are eligible for government funding (with and without a valid concession card), your fees are 

  • Tuition fee: $0
  • Resource fee: $0
  • Enrolment fee: minimum of $50, depending on your course
