Certificate III in Patisserie

This course requires approximately 48 hours of work placement. States College can provide work placement to students for a one-time cost of $1,500 for the duration of the course. Students also have the option to arrange their own placement, in which case the placement fee will not be payable. The placement fee is not a pre-paid fee and will only be charged once the student has provided a written request to States College Australia.

There is a non-refundable enrolment fee of $250. Tuition fees are outlined in States College's latest Fee Schedule. If States College arranges work placement on your behalf, an additional one-time placement fee of $1,500 applies; however, this fee is waived if you arrange your own placement.
