FEE-HELP Loan

FEE-HELP (Eligibility Criteria Applies) is a loan scheme provided by the Australian Government that assists eligible students in the payment of part or all of their Higher Education program’s tuition fees. If you apply, your FEE-HELP loan will be under our parent Higher Education college AIT, who are issuing you with the accredited Diploma of IT. 

Over your lifetime, you may borrow up to the combined HELP loan limit. For 2023, the HELP loan limit is $113,028 for most students. In addition, there is a one-off loan fee of 20%, imposed by the government, for undergraduate courses and vocational courses of study. The government pays AIT the amount of the loan, and you pay it back through the Australian taxation system once your annual taxable income reaches the minimum repayment threshold.

From 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023 the threshold at which you begin to pay back your loan is $48,361. This amount is subject to change annually. You may view the threshold here

You will also need to have a Tax File Number to apply for FEE-HELP. For all criteria in regards to applying for FEE-HELP visit the FEE-HELP website.

Apply Now

You are eligible for a FEE-HELP loan if you:

  • Are enrolled in a FEE-HELP loans-approved course offered by a FEE-HELP loans-approved provider.
  • Are an Australian citizen, hold a permanent humanitarian visa and usually reside in Australia, or are a New Zealand citizen.
  • Have an available HELP balance of more than $0 (that is, have sufficient HELP balance remaining).
  • Meet student entry requirements.

Read all FEE-HELP eligibility criteria here. Contact us and we can give you more information on how all this works. 

Entry Requirements

To enrol in our bootcamp you must:

  • Have a Unique Student Identifier (USI) or have appropriate exemption
  • Have a unique email address
  • Have access to a computer with an internet connection
  • Be 17 years or older at the time of commencement (students under 18 will require a support letter from their parent or guardian)
  • Have a high school certification equivalent to Year 12

 

Tech Requirements

All of the software that you need for your coding course will be supplied free of charge, however, you will need a reasonably current computer, i.e. 2019 or newer, with at least 16GB of RAM and the following specifications.

  • PC: Supports Windows 10 or 11 
  • Mac: OS Big Sur (minimum)

Everyone will have different preferences for the operating system used, and you might be tempted to switch to one or the other if you have heard that, “It’s the best OS for coders”.  Our advice would be to stick with the operating system you know best. You wouldn’t try out new hiking shoes right before hiking the Camino trail, so it isn’t advisable to change from one operating system to another right before starting your bootcamp.
