Funding Your Training
There are many ways to reduce or cover the cost of your training at Asset College — from government subsidies to payment plans.
Funding Options
We'll help you find the right funding option for your situation.
Government-Subsidised Training
Many of our courses are eligible for state government subsidies through programs like User Choice (QLD), Smart and Skilled (NSW), and Skills First (VIC). Eligibility conditions apply.
VET Student Loans
Eligible students can defer their course fees through the VET Student Loans program — similar to HECS/HELP for vocational education. Available for select higher-level qualifications.
Traineeships
Employer-sponsored traineeships let you earn while you learn. Your employer covers the cost of training while you work towards your qualification on the job.
JobTrainer & Skilling Australians
Subsidised training for job seekers and those looking to upskill. Eligibility is subject to state government funding availability.
Payment Plans
Can't pay upfront? Asset College offers flexible payment plans so you can spread the cost of your course over time.
Employer Sponsorship
Some security employers will sponsor your training costs in exchange for a commitment to work with them after qualifying. Ask us about current employer sponsorship opportunities.
