4 4 Course Fees and Fee Assistance FEES CIT is the largest provider of technical and further education (TAFE) in the ACT and charges TAFE fees. TAFE fees are complex and change often so it is important that you take a moment to familiarise yourself with the options you have in your chosen course of study. TAFE fees are complex because they include tuition fees, amenities fees and some (not all) resources and other materials. Different courses require different periods of study so tuition fees will differ by course. Some tuition fees are fully-subsidised by government, some are partially government funded, and some have no subsidy at all. To find out more about the different types of fees, visit cit.edu.au/fees. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Student fee assistance is available in a variety of formats, including: concessions and financial assistance scholarships payment plans and fee payment options VET FEE-HELP FEE-HELP. You may also be eligible for tax deductions for course fees and associated study expenses. To find out more about financial assistance and to check your eligibility, visit cit.edu.au/fees. GST GST of 10% applies to some fees. Examples are the CITSA Services Fee and course materials fee where the item acquired becomes your property and is useable after the course completion.

28 28 Surveying Spatial Information Stay ahead of the game with a qualification in surveying or spatial information. Everything happens somewhere. Spatial information and surveying is about location, and understanding, measuring and modelling. Location is fundamental to government, development, the environment and business. There are people who work every day collecting, analysing and presenting spatial information, which may be outdoors, using sophisticated instruments to find out where features are located. They call on satellite constellations and use lasers to measure location. Others use these measurements to model and map their relationship to one another, and how location may impact on people. A CIT course in spatial information or surveying will give you the skills you need to work in this dynamic industry. Work with the latest in technology including GPS, Electronic Distance Measuring (EDM) equipment and specialist Geographic Information Systems (GIS) computer software, and gain valuable hands-on experience with industry-based placements.
