Pricing

Our mission at Binnacle Training is to enable teachers with quality programs and support at an affordable price point for our schools.

2026 Price Schedule

NOTE: Our current and future ‘Fee For Service’ fees will only be based on our internal price indexing and are not dependent on government funding.

At the commencement of Term 1, an initial invoice (10 participant places) is sent for each ‘Fee for Service’ Only Certificate Program.

Do you anticipate a class size of less than 10? If you are unable to reach 10 participants, the Partner School is to contact Binnacle Training prior to this initial invoice being sent. Where agreed, a modified initial invoice will be drawn.

An adjustment invoice will be sent for the balance of places after the enrolment cut-off date (30 June, in the year of course commencement). Fees are invoiced to the school and cover the full course duration.

Certificate Programs – Tourism, Business, Sport & Fitness

Certificate Programs attract both a ‘Participant Fee’ and ‘Program Fee’. All fees are invoiced to the school and cover the full course duration.

Participant Fee

A ‘per participant’ fee is applied to each Certificate Program, based on the number of participants once the enrolment cut-off date has lapsed. The participant fee is GST FREE.

Program Fee

A single program fee of $1,995.00 per school now applies, regardless of the number of Binnacle certificate programs delivered. This is a change from our previous tiered pricing structure, where
program fees varied based on the number of certificate programs. The new structure simplifies invoicing and provides greater flexibility for schools.
This fee covers each program cohort for the full course duration and is invoiced at the
commencement of Term 1. All program fees are GST inclusive.
