Yes, RPL is available upon academic approval.


Are any payment options or financial assistance available?

Many CATC courses offer Vocational Education and Training (VET) FEE-HELP.

Almost every Australian citizen is eligible for VET FEE-HELP, meaning you do not have to pay your fees upfront. Instead, the total cost of your fees can be repaid through the taxation system.

You may also be eligible for Austudy, Abstudy and Youth Allowance. Applications for assistance are assessed by Centrelink, so you should contact your nearest Centrelink office to discuss your eligibility.

In addition, SEEK Learning provides a finance option from Lombard Finance in Australia. Contact a SEEK Learning consultant now for more information.
