Vocational Education and Training

 

Private education providers (meaning all colleges except for TAFE), oftentimes offer a discount to students packaging more than one course. Some colleges offer an incentive to students in the form of $1,000 off their enrolment or waive the application, resources and/or material fees as part of a set promotion.

Some scholarships may be offered on the basis of a student’s country of passport, location at time of application (onshore/offshore), or their type of study plan.

Fully funded scholarships are very rare. Students seeking a fully funded course can look at applying for a scholarship or loan in their home country. You can also find useful information on the major scholarships offered to international students on the Study In Australia website.

 

English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students (ELICOS)

 

English language course providers often have a special pricing Schedule for students depending on their country of passport.

It is important to enquire with the schools if you may be eligible for a discount on the standard fees. As an example, a course may be advertised for $350 a week but some students may be able to receive a discount and pay only $280 instead. An authorised registered agent that works with different English language schools would be able to advise of this information and if you may qualify for a reduction in fees.
