Technical Fact-Check: Analysis Core

Course fees range from $7,500 to $23,000 at private RTOs, plus hidden costs of $400–$800 for textbooks, tools, and personal protective equipment. This excludes potential loss of income during training, as the qualification typically requires 2–4 years of full-time study. Unlike subsidised apprentices, self-funded students are ineligible for Fee-Free TAFE or JobTrainer subsidies, resulting in higher financial outlay.
