Completion of an enrolment form by a candidate and acceptance of the enrolment by ABS constitutes an agreement to honour the contract outlined.

Please note: If ABS ceases operations or the course/program offered is no longer delivered or does not commence on the agreed date we will refund any fees paid in full.

Payment Options

To be considered an enrolled student, you must confirm one of the following payment options upon enrolment:

  • Pay the fees by part payments (25% deposit on enrolment and balance in part payments [not exceeding $1500 per payment] over the nominal term of the program);
  • The balance of fees can be paid in 3 instalments, each quarter;
  • Present a signed authority from your employer to invoice fees and charges;

Payments can be made by: Direct Bank Deposit, Visa or Mastercard.

Payment by instalments

Payment plans can be negotiated if clients are seeking to vary the standard payment arrangements.

1. Instalment amounts will be calculated to be paid in intervals as agreed between the client and the manager of ABS.

2. If regular instalments are not made during this time, the assessment will cease until payments are resumed and no certificate will be issued until full payment of the course is finalised.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)/Recognition of Current Competencies (RCC) Fees

Fees will be confirmed with students prior to the application being made depending on the number of units being undertaken. Fees are payable at the time of submission. For further details about RPL/RCC including definitions please see additional information below.

RPL assessment fee

Recognition of prior learning (RPL) involves the assessment of previously unrecognised skills and knowledge an individual has achieved outside the formal education and training system in respect of a specific unit. RPL is an assessment process that assesses the individual’s non-formal and informal learning to determine the extent to which that individual has achieved these required learning outcomes or competency outcomes.
