Frequently Asked Questions

What does upfront payment mean for a course?

Upfront payment means paying the full course fee at the time of enrolment, before you begin your studies. This is a common option for short courses, non-accredited training, and some vocational qualifications.

Are there any benefits to paying upfront?

Some providers may offer a discount for paying upfront. It also avoids ongoing financial commitments and interest charges that can come with payment plans or loans.

Can I get a refund if I change my mind after paying upfront?

Refund policies vary, but most providers have a cooling-off period or refund options in line with Australian Consumer Law. Make sure to review the refund policy in your enrolment agreement.

Does upfront payment affect my eligibility for government subsidies?

No, upfront payment simply refers to how you pay. If a course is government-subsidised, you may still need to pay the balance upfront. Visit MySkills.gov.au for details on course funding.

Is upfront payment suitable for everyone?

It’s ideal if you have the financial means to pay all at once and want to avoid debt. However, make sure the course provider is reputable and check their terms carefully before committing.
