The charge contributes to the cost of materials and resources consumed, and assists in the replacement of equipment and tools worn or damaged during the course. The charge is payable by all students (including those who qualify for a fee exemption or fee concession from TAFE NSW fees) in accordance with Hunter TAFE's Course Related Charges Guidelines.
