EXTENSIONS

Extension Requests

​If you are unsure of your close of study date or study mode, then please refer to your Confirmation of Enrolment email or contact us. 
​
If you need more time to complete your studies, you will need to apply for an extension before your end of study date. Simply fill in the below form, and make the appropriate payment.

​Standard Extension fees
​Students within Australia or Online / Distance:
WHY IS THERE AN EXTENSION FEE?
​When your enrolment is active with us, it's like occupying a seat in a classroom. There are costs associated with having active students, including: 

  1. Employing our great Trainers: Educational institutions plan their staffing based on the expected number of students completing their studies within a certain timeframe. When a student extends their studies, it can disrupt the staffing allocation and lead to additional staffing requirements for the institution. 
  2. Administrative & registration costs: Extending a student's study period requires additional administrative work, such as updating records and ensuring the student's ongoing compliance with the institution's policies. There are also registration fees associated with student record management. The extension fee helps cover these administrative costs and time-based expenses.​
  3. Incentive & encouraging planning: Extension fees can act as an incentive for students to complete their studies within the designated timeframe. By charging extension fees, institutions encourage students to plan their academic path carefully and avoid prolonging their studies without valid reasons. If there were no extension fees, some students might be more inclined to extend their studies unnecessarily, leading to increased strain on the institution's resources. 

It's important to note that in some cases, we may waive or reduce the fees for students facing exceptional circumstances that prevent them from completing their studies on time.
  • Switch from full-time to part-time = free if within the part-time enrolment time frame
  • 3 months extension - $375 (or 14 x weekly payments of $32.50 = $455)
  • 6 months extension - $575 (or 20 x weekly payments of $32.50 = $650)
  • 12 months extension - $875 upfront (or 30 x weekly payments of $32.50 = $975)

Extension fees are payable in advance. A full refund will apply if your extension request is not approved. 

Study Loads & Timeframes:
CERTIFICATE IV - If extending as a full-time student, you can only remain as a full-time student until 18 months from your start of study date. The standard part-time enrolment period for the Course is 18 months. If you are extending beyond 18 months from your start of study date then an extension fee is applicable.

DIPLOMA - If extending as a full-time student, you can only remain as a full-time student until 24 months from your start of study date. The standard part-time enrolment period for the Course is 24 months. If you are extending beyond 24 months from your start of study date then an extension fee is applicable.​

Centrelink recipients - please note:
If you are receiving Centrelink study benefits, then changing to part-time might affect your eligibility to continue receiving those benefits. You may wish to stay as a full-time student, but extend your enrolment period (please note the maximum full-time enrolment periods above). If you are concerned about how your payments may be affected, we recommend you contact Centrelink to discuss your situation.​ It is your responsibility to inform Centrelink of any changes to your enrolment.
