Skills First Programme

Skills First is a Victorian Government scheme that helps people access vocational education and training. If you are eligible, the government will contribute to the cost of your training.

To be eligible for subsidised training, you must be:
  • an Australian citizen, or
  • an Australian permanent resident, or
  • a New Zealand citizen,
  • physically present in the state of Victoria when completing training and assessment.
Requirements:

There are limits on how much Skills First-funded training a student can do. This aims to maximise program completions and encourage students to make informed decision about their training and employment opportunities. Speak to one of our course advisors today to confirm your eligibility.

Please refer to the individual course page for a clear breakdown of fees, or see our Schedule of Fees here.

Not Eligible For Funding?

If you are not eligible for fee subsidies you may still enrol in the qualification as a Full Fee Paying student.
