A comprehensive guide on how to find a Work Placement guide will be supplied.
** Workplace Practical Insurance Cover only applies to students undertaking practical training in Australia.
^ Payment plans are for 10-20 months depending on your study mode and in some situations, how long you have nominated to complete the course.
^^ The Student tuition fees are indicative only and are subject to change given individual circumstances at enrolment. Additional fees may apply such as student service and resource fees.
† Must be employed and working more than 20 hours per week.

Credit transfers (CT)

AVT students who have been awarded an AVT Animal Studies or Animal Care qualification will receive Credit Transfers for relevant units successfully completed. As a result, your overall course fees will be reduced where applicable.

Students who have completed previous relevant studies with an alternative training provider will need to apply for credit transfers. The number of credits will depend on the units of competency successfully completed. Learn more in our FAQ here.
