If you are in a technician role working in higher education or research and would like to apply for a subsidy on the course registration fee, please complete the application form under the Technician Subsidy tab before registering for the course. If you are awarded a subsidy you may be asked to write or contribute to a short report for infocus about your learning outcomes following the training.
