How to Enrol

Skills First tuition fees are subsidised, however a small fee applies. Skills First fees are set according to the 2022 Guidelines about Fees, Skills First Program, available on the Department of Education and Training website. To access Victorian Government Subsidised Training you must meet eligibility criteria. Our friendly staff will go through these criteria with you during the pre-enrolment process. People with disabilities are encouraged to access funded training. A copy of our full fees, charges and refunds policy can be accessed on our website. 

Pre-accredited course tuition fees are set by the community centre in accordance with Learn Local guidelines, which are available online. All listed course fees in this brochure include costs for materials, administration and amenities, unless otherwise stated. 

ACFE courses require a $20 deposit for course enrolments. This fee is a non-refundable and non-transferable fee, unless the class is cancelled by the community centre. Fees for all pre-accredited courses must be paid in full one week before the class commences, unless other arrangements have been made with the course coordinator. Classes may be cancelled if they do not have sufficient numbers to run.
