What to Check Before You Enrol

The checklist

Check	What you should know before paying
The course	Its national code and full title. Whether it is a nationally recognised qualification, a skill set, or a single unit — they are not the same thing.
What it costs	The total amount, what it includes, what it does not, and the payment terms. Published fees match ALIT’s approved fee schedule — if a figure you are quoted differs from the course page, ask why before paying.
Fees paid to others	Licence, fingerprinting or third-party certification fees are paid to that authority, not to ALIT, and are not part of your course fee.
How long it takes	The duration, the timetable, and the amount of study expected outside class.
How it is delivered	On campus, online, blended or in a workplace — and which parts must be attended in person.
Where	The delivery location or locations.
Entry requirements	Age, language, literacy and numeracy, prior qualifications, clearances — and whether an external authority sets any of them rather than ALIT.
Attendance	Whether your course has mandatory hours you must complete, or is monitored on course progress. See Enrolment.
Work placement	Whether your course includes placement, how many hours, and what clearances you need. See Work placement.
Equipment and materials	What ALIT provides and what you need to bring or buy — including any device or internet requirements for online components.
What it leads to	What the qualification is and is not. Where a course supports a licence, completing the course may satisfy the relevant training requirement for an application. The licensing authority determines whether you meet all licensing requirements, and course completion does not guarantee that a licence will be issued.
Assessment	How you will be assessed, and your reassessment entitlements. See Assessment.
Credit for what you know	Whether RPL or credit transfer could reduce what you need to complete. See RPL and credit transfer.
Support	What academic, language and wellbeing support is available, and how reasonable adjustment works. See Student support.
Your USI	You need one. It is free, and we cannot issue your certificate without it.
Refunds	What you get back if you withdraw, and when. See Fees, refunds and cancellations.
Complaints	How to complain or appeal, free of charge, and the external options available. See Complaints and appeals.
Third-party delivery	If any part of your training or assessment is delivered by another organisation on ALIT’s behalf, you must be told before you enrol.
Your written agreement	You receive and sign a Student Agreement before any tuition fee is collected. Read it and keep your copy.
