What is VET FEE-HELP?

VET FEE-HELP is a student loan scheme for the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector that is part of the Higher Education Loan Program (HELP). VET FEE-HELP assists eligible students undertaking certain VET courses of study (diploma, advanced diploma, graduate certificate and graduate diploma courses) with an approved VET provider, to pay for all or part of their tuition costs. A VET provider is a registered training organisation (such as the College of Natural Beauty) that has been approved by the Australian Government to offer VET FEE-HELP assistance to their students.

Policies relating to VET FEE-HELP

As an approved VET Provider, the College of Natural Beauty must make publicly available its policies and procedures related to VET FEE HELP and Statement of VET Tuition Assurance. Please use the links below to access this information:

The student must return the signed and completed form to the College on or before the census date for the first subject of study for which they wish to obtain VET FEE-HELP assistance.

Our courses are practically based, involving hands-on activities, demonstrations and observations.  To complement this there are theory workbooks and exams to ensure your level of competency of each topic.
