HOW TO APPLY

We aim to make the application process with us as smooth as possible and our team is on hand to answer any questions you may have. 

Here’s a handy step-by-step guide to get you started. 

  1. Check that you meet the eligibility criteria for your chosen course. This information can be found on the individual course pages.  

  2. Complete the online Application Form

  3. Have your USI on hand or if you don’t have one you can apply for a USI. Your USI (Unique Student Identifier) is your individual education number for life. It also creates a Government authenticated record of your vocational education and training (VET) achievements. You need a USI if you are a student studying nationally recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET). 

  4. Select your payment option. See details below. 

  5. Now, just sit back and chill - our team will be in touch to finalise your enrolment details and payment.  

Please note that all courses are subject to cancellation unless there is a minimum number of students enrolled. If a course is cancelled, the enrollment fee will be refunded.

PRICING, FUNDING AND PAYMENT OPTIONS

Because of our unique set-up, we’re able to offer competitive tuition fees. In our experience, we know what it takes to build an arts enterprise, especially when it comes to the kind of support you might need during the ‘start-up’ phase. If this is the only thing holding you back, don’t hesitate to reach out so we can discuss a payment arrangement that suits you.
