Course Related Charges

Course related charges are applicable to all students, including those who are eligible for a concession fee or personal exemption from the TAFE NSW Fee.

Please note: charges may vary between locations for the same course where different electives or materials and equipment are offered / available.

Apart from the TAFE NSW Fee, students may be asked to pay additional Course Related Charges. These charges contribute to the replacement and maintenance of materials, resources, equipment and services that will be directly used by you in your studies. North Coast Institute's Course Related Charges vary according to the faculty and the level of study or the specialist modules or delivery mode used at some locations.

Please check with your teacher, campus administration or the Customer Service Centre (on 131601) if you are unsure of what charge applies to the course in which you want to enrol. If you can't pay at enrolment please discuss your circumstances with your head teacher or campus administration and arrangements can be made to ensure you will not be disadvantaged.
