Apprenticeship Course Fees Information

Fees

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 financial support for Australian Apprenticeships through Centrelink.

Fee Waiver

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

Waiving of fees covering “Financial Hardship” is in accordance with the WA Department of Training and Workforce Development guidelines.

All fees must be paid prior to course commencement. Below fees are determined by the WA Department of Training and Workforce Development:
