 Policy Principles

The following principles underpin this policy.

 

Fees Career Start Program - Traineeships

The Department of Trade, Employment and Training sets the contribution fee which may be changed annually. At present, this is equal to $1.60 per nominal hour for each unit of competency in which the participant is enrolled.

Information on course fees is detailed in the applicable course Program Structure and Pricing provided to the learner at the time of enrolment or can be accessed on our website www.aada.edu.au – Funded Training

If an increase in the contribution fees occurs, trainees that will be impacted by the increase in the contribution fees will be advised prior to the implementation.

Trainees are required to pay a contribution towards the cost of their training. This will be invoiced at the completion of the unit of competency. Invoices will be required to be paid within 14 days by the methods outlined on the invoice.

Where the employer agrees to pay the contribution fee on behalf of the trainee, an agreement will be signed by the employer.

This agreement will list:

 

School-based Trainees

A full fee exemption applies to participants enrolling under a school-based traineeship.

If the trainee does not complete the qualification prior to leaving school, the trainee or another party is obligated to commence paying student contribution fees for any units not yet deemed competent as of the date the training contract is changed to part-time or full-time. This then reverts to the non-concession and concession pricing.

 

Employer fees

AADA College reserves the right to charge the Employer an additional fee when the cost of training is not covered by the fees and subsidies. If any additional fees will be applicable for the Employer, these will be disclosed and agreed to prior to the enrolment being processed.

 

Fee Exemptions Career Start Program - Traineeships

Participants may be eligible for partial or full exemptions of their contribution fees. Information on concession relating to course fees can be viewed on our website.

 

Partial exemptions apply in the following circumstances:

Participants eligible for Partial exemptions will be invoiced 40% ($0.64)of the full contribution fee.

 

Full exemptions apply in the following circumstances:

School based trainees are exempt from paying contribution fees.

Participants who have already completed a unit of competency in which they are enrolled. No contribution fees will apply for that/those unit/s of competency. The participant must provide a copy of the Statement of Attainment, Statement of Results or a USI Transcript reflecting the unit/s of competency at the time of enrolment.

Trainees who provide evidence that the student contribution fee will cause extreme financial hardship may be eligible for an exemption, and each case is decided on an individual basis.
