Fees for 2011 are currently being set by the Institute and the Government. Due to the funding changes in the education environment, it is expected that there will be a small rise in fees consistent with CPI. Courses are offered both as self funded courses, or with government subsidised funding. You may be eligible for a government subsidised place, depending on your situation. For further information regarding fees or eligibility for subsidised places, contact the Institute.
