Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care

Fee-Free TAFE covers course tuition fees only; this is the indicative course cost listed on the CIT course webpage. It does not cover the cost for any learning resources such as textbooks or other equipment required for the course.

Prospective Fee-Free TAFE students at CIT have six key steps: Enquire (register your interest), Apply (apply for the course you are interested in), Assess (CIT will assess your application against eligibility criteria and course requirements), Offer (if you meet the eligibility requirements and places are available, you will receive an offer to enrol), Enrol (enrolling into subjects is a critical step to securing your Fee-Free TAFE place), and Attend (attending and engaging in your subjects is the critical last step to keeping your Fee-Free TAFE place).

No, prospective Fee-Free TAFE students are encouraged to focus on one Fee-Free TAFE course at a time, with the view to building their knowledge and skills and then progressing to the next qualification, if desired.

If you withdraw in full from a Fee-Free TAFE course you will forfeit the fee free place. A condition of the Fee-Free TAFE Initiative is that you must remain engaged in your study. If you disengage from study without any communication for more than 90 days, you will forfeit the fee free place. If you forfeit the fee free place you can still complete the course however fees will apply.

As a CIT Fee-Free TAFE student you can re-enrol once into a unit/subject where you have not successfully passed the unit/subject the first time. Any additional re-enrolment into unit/subject will incur fees.
