Fees are payable when a student has received a confirmation of enrolment. The fee payment must be paid prior to commencing training or according to WesTrac’s Terms and Conditions for credit account customers. WesTrac Institute may discontinue training if fees are not paid as required.
What methods of payment can I use?
WesTrac Institute accepts payment for fees using:
- Credit Card

Can I get a refund if I cancel my enrolment early?
10 or more business days notice
Students, who give notice to cancel their enrolment 10 business days or more prior to the commencement of a program, will be entitled to a full refund of fees paid.
Nine or less business days notice
Students who give notice to cancel their enrolment 9 business days or less prior to the commencement of a program will be entitled to a 75% refund of fees paid. The amount retained (25%) by WesTrac Institute is required to cover the costs of staff and resources which will have already been committed based on the student’s initial intention to undertake the training.
Textbooks and training workbooks
Where a student has purchased a textbook or training workbooks and subsequently cancels, WesTrac Institute will not refund monies for the text.
NSW Fees:
The WesTrac Institute fee will apply to government subsidised courses offered by the WesTrac Institute.
If you are eligible for subsidised training under 'Smart and Skilled', you will only pay a portion of the training cost. The rest is subsidised by the NSW Government - they pay an average 55-90 percent of the cost of each course.
