Fees and funding
YAT charges per-course tuition fees that vary by qualification. Specific fees are listed on each course page or available from our admissions team.
Government-subsidised places
Skills First Victoria places are available on most YAT qualifications for eligible Victorian students. Eligibility is based on residency, prior qualifications you hold, and your current concession status. Your eligibility is assessed during the application process — you don't need to work it out yourself.
Free TAFE applies to selected qualifications for eligible students — the indicator appears on the relevant course page.
Payment options
Payment plans are available for full-fee students. They can be arranged with our admissions team before you enrol so the cost is spread across the course rather than being due up front.
Concessions and Centrelink
If you hold a current concession card, you may qualify for a concession rate — check with admissions. If you receive a Centrelink payment, a YAT qualification may not affect your eligibility, but you should check your specific circumstances with Centrelink before enrolling.
