At the Australian Institute of Personal Trainers, we believe everyone should have access to a quality education, setting you up to start your new career. This is why we have a range of payment options to suit your lifestyle and budget.
Instalment plan
Deposit plus the remainder of your course cost to be paid within 12 months.
Your course fees are calculated to include all costs associated with your study, which are paid through a series of regular instalments.
An initial deposit on your course is required, followed by weekly or fortnightly payments until the total amount of the course has been paid off.
Up-front payment
This payment option is available for all of our certificate and diploma courses. All costs associated with your training and assessment are calculated in full and can be paid in total by credit card at the time of enrolment.

The Certificate 3 Guarantee program helps support eligible students to complete their first post-school certificate III level qualification.
If your course is eligible, the Queensland Government will pay the subsidy directly to AIPT. The level of the government subsidy varies depending on the demand for skilled workers in each industry. You will be required to contribute to the costs of your training through a co-contribution fee, the details of which can be found below.

- Not hold or be currently enrolled in a certificate III or higher level qualification (does not include qualifications completed in secondary school)

You will be required to contribute to the costs of your training through a co-contribution fee, the details of which can be found below.

User Choice
The program provides the flexibility for apprentices, trainees and their employers to select a preferred registered training organisation (RTO) from a list of pre-qualified suppliers (PQS) for the delivery of accredited training to meet their specific needs.
Usually students are required to pay a co-contribution fee. In some cases though, an RTO may provide either a partial or full exemption for a student in respect to the co-contribution fee. School-based apprentices and trainees are not required to pay a co-contribution fee while they are still at school, but may be required to pay fees once their training contract has been converted to full time or part time post school.
User Choice Eligibility
-
Have entered into a training contract for a qualification that is funded by the Department of Employment, Small Business and Training (DESBT)
- Be registered in DESBT's registration system DELTA
- The contract commencement date or recommencement date must be on or after 1 July 2010
- The training provider selected to deliver the training must hold a pre-qualified supplier (PQS) status for the nominated qualification.
Other restrictions may apply to some programs, so please read the Department of Employment, Small Business and Training website for more information.
