VET Costs

If you are deciding to study at TAFE you will be glad to know that programs and courses at TAFE cost considerably less than at university. TAFE course fees can range from $30 to $7,000 per semester; however the average cost is $523 for fees and $85 for materials per semester for full-time students. For more information on specific course fees you need to contact the relevant TAFE institution.

Course fees can vary greatly between institutions, with each setting its own fee levels. You also need to take into consideration that some courses, such as fashion design, photography and art have additional charges for course materials. Most TAFEs also charge amenities and service fees.
