About Tuition & Fees
Tuition rates for NVC’s VET courses for the 2025-2026 academic year are approved by the CEO in July prior to the start of the academic period. Rates for any additional terms, such as intensive or short courses, are finalized in a review meeting held in February before the term begins. Course registration dates are available in the NVC student handbook.
