Federal: Federal funding is an incentive program for Employers who support their Employees within a Traineeship arrangement.

Student Contribution Fees: SCT’s or Tuition Fees are charged to the Trainee to encourage contribution to their own future pathways. For this Qualification the range of fees are $1000 - $2500. KASE accepts payment plans and credit card payments.
For example: A Trainee who takes 18 months to complete their Qualification and the SCT fee is $1500, the payment plan would be $83.33 per month. SCT fees are calculated at $1.60 per nominal hour of the competencies selected within a Qualification, this varies for each individual and will be explained upon Induction. Employers often opt to contribute to this fee on behalf of their worker.
Fee for service fees: Each fee is calculated on a case by case basis, the minimum fee for this Qualification is $2500; where a learner would have significant experience and is not in a remote location. The maximum fee for this Qualification is $5000. Travel and accommodation costs, where applicable, are additional to the minimum and maximum fee, this will be negotiated prior to enrolment via written notification. The fee for service fees are split into 2 payments, maximum $1500.00 deposit prior to commencement and the balance upon completion. The full amount of the fee for service fee must be paid prior to KASE issuing the Certificate.
Fee for service deposits: There is a pre-paid deposit required for FFS Learners prior to enrolment, this is non-refundable after the cooling off period (see below). The pre-paid deposit amount will not exceed $1500.00 on any given enrolment

This ensures relevant outcomes that align with the Learners’ current or future prospects/work life.
Correspondence: Some work can be completed via correspondence. KASE accepts paperwork submission via email or mail, validation of these submissions will be completed via face to face visits or skype if you are in a remote location or overseas
RPL: Recognition of Prior Learning is available to all learners, if you believe you have gained enough experience to be deemed competent in one or a number of competencies, we will assist you in your application to be recognised for this.

-
Issuing Certificates
KASE will issue your Certificate within 30 calendar days of completion of all assessment and paperwork requirements. Where you have not completed all components of a Qualification, you will be issued with a Statement of Attainment listing the units you have achieved in full. These documents will be kept for a period of 30 years, and you can access them by requesting a copy directly from KASE.

Consumer & RTO Rights
Consumer Rights
The ACCC states that services must:
- be provided with acceptable care and skill or technical knowledge and taking all necessary steps to avoid loss and damage
- be fit for the purpose or give the results that you and the business had agreed to
- be delivered within a reasonable time when there is no agreed end date
Where a consumer considers these guidelines were not met, please refer to our Appeals/Complaints Policy found at www.kase.com.au
Please be aware that consumer guarantees do not apply where the consumer:
- asked for a service to be done in a certain way against the advice of the business or were unclear about what you wanted
- got what you asked for but simply changed your mind, found it cheaper somewhere else, decided you did not like the purchase or had no use for it.
RTO Rights
The RTO reserves the right to refuse engagement with a client where it sees it is unable to deliver satisfactory service, this might be due to location of the learner or exorbitant costs to the RTO, or for any other reason; this is at the RTO’s discretion. The RTO further reserves the right to refuse or withdraw enrolment where it has deemed the client unfit to enrol or where continuation of the course would result in non-compliance with the relevant Standards, State Bodies or Qualification requirements, or for any other reason the RTO sees as significant. Where this situation would occur, the RTO will notify the appropriate party via written correspondence. The recipient has the opportunity to submit a compliant or appeal using our Appeals/Complaints Policy and Procedure found on our website. Where this occurs, the issue will be dealt with through the established Appeals/Complaints Policy.
