FEES / AUSTUDY

The College of Electrical Training attracts the same financial support from the State Government as any other Registered Training Organisation ensuring there is no cost disadvantage to employers or apprentices.

Fee reductions are available for apprentices who are able to provide an approved concession at enrolment.

Learners enrolled in full-time courses are eligible to apply for means-tested Department of Training and Workforce Development, Employment and Workplace Relations Allowances.

Applications for allowances can be made through Centrelink

Fees may be waived for individual apprentices who are able to demonstrate that payment of fees would produce financial hardship.

The College Fee Waiver Policy covering “Financial Hardship” is in accordance with the WA Department of Training and Workforce Development guidelines.

The CET Skills Recognition process benefits applicants who have undergone prior learning and recognises competencies obtained outside a formal educational or training environment, gained through life or work experience. Competencies currently held by applicants will be formally assessed against each applicable Unit of Competency and maybe recognised regardless of how, when and where they were achieved. Skills Recognition is an assessment process and a cost recovery charge will apply.

CET accepts and provides credit to learners for units of competency and/or modules (unless licensing or regulatory requirements prevent this) where these are evidenced by:

• AQF certification documentation issued by any other RTO or AQF authorised issuing organisation; or
• Authenticated VET transcript issued by the Registrar

If you believe you are entitled to Skills and/or National Recognition, we encourage you to complete an Application Form available from our administration team.
