Tuition fees
IBI tuition fees are set by the government. It is calculated based on the number of hours of enrolment, at a rate that varies depending on the category a course is in.
All courses have been classified into one of 5 course categories for the purpose of calculating fees:
Foundation Skills (basic general education, English language, literacy and numeracy courses up to Certificate IV level, and the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning – Foundation level)
Skills Creation (most Certificate I and II courses, the VCE and VCAL Intermediate and Senior)
Apprenticeships and Traineeships (all courses taken as part of an apprenticeship/traineeship training contract, at any level)
Skills Building (most non-apprenticeship Certificate III and IV courses)
For each category there is also a set minimum, which is the lowest you should expect to pay, and a maximum, which puts an upper limit on what you will pay, even if you enrol in a large number of hours in that course.
The fees are set for each calendar year, and you normally pay according to the year when you will do the training. If your course lasts more than one year, you may pay a new tuition fee at the start of the new year, at a new hourly rate.
