The Queensland Government makes it compulsory for education providers in the Career Boost program in the Diploma of IT, to charge a student fee, which is called the “Co-contribution fee”. This means that all RTOs offering that program under the SAS program, must charge a Co-contribution fee.
‍
The Government requires a Co-contribution fee because the increased benefits of advanced-level training, such as improved job opportunities and higher earning potential. The fee represents total costs to the student for the qualification, including materials costs. You will not be charged more for tuition or materials. You could be charged for ad hoc administrative matters requested by you, such as re-issue of a parchment (certificate). That sort of fee is set out in our Administrative Fees Schedule. However, all of your learning materials and tuition are covered by your Co-contribution fee.
