Brite offers both government subsidised and fee-for-service (non-government subsidised) training places.
As of 1 January 2019, Brite no longer charges tuition fees for government subsidised training.
What are the differences between government subsidised and fee-for-service training places?
Government subsidised training places attract a subsidy from the government that pays for your training fees (tuition fees). You must meet set criteria to be eligible for a government subsidy and provide acceptable evidence to support this.
Fee-for-service training (also known as non-government subsidised training places) is for students who do not meet the eligibility requirements for government subsidy or fee
concession.
Payment options: Study Loans is a new kind of finance for students seeking assistance in paying for their vocational tertiary education.
So if you’re not eligible for funding, and you’re looking for an alternative, check out Study Loans.
