Terms & Conditions

COMPULSORY FEES

 

The tuition fees for each of qualifications provided by Safety Training Academy as well as fees for Recognition of Prior Learning are summarised in the Fee Schedule which you will receive prior to enrolment. Contained in this Fee schedule is detailed information regarding total fees, payment terms, fees and charges for additional services, and any fees paid in advance.

 

Fee payment schedules may be negotiated on an individual basis with the CEO. Non-payment of fees may result in cancellation of registration and non-awarding of a qualification or statement of attainment.
