At IIT, we understand that it may not always be possible to afford the course you want, especially those offered by some of IIT’s competitors who charge up to $4,400 – and that’s just for a Diploma of Financial Planning! If you go on to do further study with them you’ll probably end up paying almost $10,000 in course fees – wouldn’t you rather spend that on a fabulous overseas trip to Paris, London or Rome?
IIT delivers quality learning at an extremely affordable price! We keep our fees LOW so that you can get the job you’ve always dreamed of without the need to take out a loan.
To assist you in better achieving your education goals, we have designed some payment plans to help ease the burden.
1. INSTALMENT Plan
If you’d prefer to complete one of our nationally recognised qualifications over time, then why not simply enrol one course at a time? For example, our Diploma of Financial Services (Financial Planning) is made up of FOUR courses. Therefore, you could choose to enrol and complete ONE course at a time. This means you don’t have to pay for the full Diploma in one lump sum.
2. CORPORATE INTRODUCTION Plan
IIT appreciates that our students choose IIT as their preferred education provider. To reward students who actively promote IIT as an education provider, we have established the Corporate Introduction Plan (CIP).
The CIP provides students with a CASH INCENTIVE for any introductions made to their National Professional Development / Training / Compliance Manager that results in IIT conducting training for 10 or more students at the Diploma level (or higher) qualification. The cash incentive is $200 PER QUALIFICATION completed in the first six months.
3. BUSINESS TO BUSINESS Plan
IIT also appreciates any organization which chooses us as their preferred education provider. In this way, we offer generous DISCOUNTS on any COURSE/QUALIFICATIONS undertaken. Minimum student numbers are required. For further details please contact one of our friendly Education Consultants.
4. GOVERNMENT FUNDING Plans
The Federal Government believes in the Australian Education System as one of the best in the world. The Government believes education is the way to creating a better Australia. As a result, the Federal Government has several Financial Assistance Plans available to people wanting to undertake courses offered by private education providers / Registered Training Organisation (RTO). These include:
a) Parents Return to Work Program – Victorian residents.
The Returning to Earning program provides support to parents to return to work after an absence caring for children by providing assistance to broaden and deepen their skills. Grants of up to $1,000 are available which can be used to cover any costs associated with approved training, such as books and materials, course fees, transport and childcare.
It is a Victorian Government initiative so only available to Victorian residents. Courses and qualifications offered by IIT enable parents to develop work-related skills and earning potential in their spare time. Because our courses are offered by Distance Education students/parents can stay home to look after children and still be eligible for the grant. At IIT, all learning materials, including textbooks, are included in the course fee.
For further information about your eligibility for the Parents Returning to Earning grant, contact one of our Education Consultants on 1300 88 33 46 or email education@iitedu.com.au, or visit www.parentsreturntowork.net.au to learn more about the program.
