What affects the cost
Requirements
Entry requirements depend on the programme you choose and are explained before you enrol.
Qualification
Nationally recognised qualifications are a separate pathway: ASC is not an RTO. Qualifications are issued by our ASQA-registered partner RTO, named in your written plan.
Licences
A qualification can be one requirement for a licence. Licensing bodies set their own experience, exam and supervised-work requirements.
Fees
Your fixed fee is in your written plan before you start.
Payment
How and when you pay is set out in your written plan. Nothing starts until you approve it.
Common questions
Are these qualifications recognised?
ASC certificates are part of our own non-accredited programmes. For nationally recognised qualifications, ask about the separate RPL pathway.
Do I need to attend a campus?
Most programmes are online or hybrid. Some partner programmes offer campus options — we'll tell you upfront.
How long do programmes take?
Programme duration and assessment requirements are confirmed in your written plan.
What if I already have years of experience?
Experience-based and portfolio-assessed pathways exist — talk to an advisor and we'll map the options for you.
Do you offer degrees?
No. We offer ASC's own non-accredited programmes and two non-degree partner programmes.
How do I get a nationally recognised qualification?
That is a separate pathway, such as RPL. ASC is not an RTO. Qualifications are issued by our ASQA-registered partner RTO, named in your written plan.
