Given the benefits that training provides to individuals, students undertaking certificate III level training and non-concessional students undertaking lower -level vocational training are required to contribute to the costs of their training through a co-contribution fee. The fee may be paid on your behalf by an employer or another third party but cannot be paid or waived by the training provider, or any organisation related to the training provider, unless approved by the Department of Employment, Small Business and Training (DESBT).

The Student Co-Contribution Fee for eligible students under the Certificate 3 Guarantee (C3G) Program for this qualification is $25 concessional or $50 no concessional. This fee will be required to be paid in full prior to the training course commencing.

To be eligible to receive subsidised training under the Certificate 3 Guarantee program you must:

• be aged 15 years or older;
• be no longer at school (with the exception of school students in Years 10, 11 and 12 undertaking a VET in School (VETiS) program. See the VETiS Fact Sheet for more information.
