Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get the whole course funded by the Government ?

Unfortunately Government funding schemes either allows just the Diploma component to be funded with the VET FEE HELP scheme but not the prerequisite Certificate IV course, which you will need to complete before you can start the Diploma, or you can apply for AUSTUDY financial support for while you are studying.

AUSTUDY applies for both the Certificate IV & Diploma courses and does not attract interest or need to repaid at a later date.

The governments VET FEE HELP vocational funding scheme also attract a 20% interest rate. In some instances the fee charged by other colleges, for just the Diploma in Remedial Massage component (not including the prerequisite Certificate IV), is over $12,000 and coupled with the added 20% government interest charge, makes it nearly $15,000, that you will eventually have to repay the Government. That does not cover the prerequisite Certificate IV fee to the college plus all books & material costs so the total cost can be considerably more.

This is a staggering two to three times our combined Certificate IV & Diploma in Remedial Massage fee which is all inclusive and ranges from $7,100 for on-line paid upfront to $9,200 on a payment plan for on-campus or on-line and without needing a credit check or having to be approved for finance first.

These much higher fees could explain why some colleges do not publish their course fees online, forcing people to contact them first with their details and might also be why some colleges focus on module fees so that the total costs are difficult to determine upfront.

If I do have to pay part myself, then what is the most affordable solution?

$750 is all you will need to get started in our part-time Combined Certificate IV & Diploma of Remedial Massage on-campus program. You will then need to make weekly contributions while you are studying and you won't need to pay any extra for books, or oils or exam fees etc because it is all-inclusive. You will only have paid $9,200 for your complete course including all materials & books and you won't have a study debt hanging over your head when you graduate.
