As an approved training provider for Skilled Capital, The Australian Academy of Media (RTO 45017) can offer training to individuals living or working in the Australian Capital Territory, with fees subsidised by the ACT Government.

While students undertaking a subsidised course must pay a small contribution fee, Skilled Capital subsidises the remaining course cost at enrolment or before training commences.

The Australian Academy of Media can provide training subsidised through Skilled Capital ACT across three qualifications (with student contribution fee in brackets):

1. CUA31020 – Certificate III in Screen and Media ($140)

2. BSB40520 - Certificate IV in Leadership and Management ($100)

3. BSB50420 - Diploma of Leadership and Management ($140)

Receive Completion Payment from ACT Skilled Capital

Students who successfully complete their qualification are eligible for a completion payment. A completion payment will be paid directly to the student upon completion of the qualification and a survey. The completion payment is $300 for each qualification.

Students will be eligible to receive the completion payment for up to 1 year after successful completion of the qualification, provided an up-to-date email and bank account details are confirmed.

A student is not eligible for a completion payment where more than 50% of the units are completed through Recognition of Prior Learning or Credit Transfer. A significant proportion of units completed through credit transfer may also impact on student eligibility for the completion payment.
