Did you know that across all training organisations and all courses in Australia, only about 50% of people who start a course will end up finishing it?
That means that quite often people are paying for things that they do not use. When it comes to face to face training, I understand the need to charge students even if they are not in the room – after all, the fixed costs are enormous even if you don’t turn up. But, when it comes to online education, things are different.
We know that not everyone who starts will finish. Instead of worrying about it, we decided to see it as an opportunity to provide a better service.
What do we do?
We created a pricing model that is really quite simple:
1. You pay an upfront fee to gain access to all the resources you will need.
2. When you are ready to be assessed, you submit your work and make a second payment to be assessed.
If you never get to the stage of submitting your work, you never get charged to be assessed.
How much is it for a single qualification?
For a single qualification, pay $200 upfront and then $450 when you are ready to be assessed.
That is a total of $650.
Can I apply for more than one qualification, and what is the cost?
For up to three qualifications from Certificate IV or Diploma, pay $400 upfront and then $800 when you are ready to be assessed.
That is a total of $1200, or $400 per qualification.
