So Ive done UTAS' 100% CSP funded courses and loved them! I was wondering have you found any other Unis or training providers that offer the same or similar (where the funding matches the full course fee bringing the student contribution to $0).
Where are the 100% CSP Funded Courses

You're right, instead of an educated population without large student loans, maybe we could give a few more tax breaks to the rich!
Or maybe we could fully fund places for any in demand skill areas only. And limit the fully funded places to one undergraduate degree (or double degree) and one graduate degree per person per 10 years.
Oh and cut all the tax breaks and welfare rorts for the middle class and the rich including all centrelink, pensions for people with million dollar properties, the massive renewable subsidies and interest free loans etc.
Or scrap AUKUS and fix our own backyard. Environmentally,socially and energy-wise. How is a 40 year defunct tech delivery going to be of any use to making the place worth saving? By then the Yanks will have finished removing any useful resources, dominating the landscape,drained the aquifers and signed up another 4 generations of Strayans to exploit.
Nobody wanted,was asked for or needs AUKUS and yet both sides lie about it's aim and benefits. It's a trap .A very expensive lemon. If Trump tears the contract up, we win.CSP allocates different funding to different areas based on demand.. as an example, looking at unsw, the student fees associated with agriculture studies for instance may come to 4k after CSP, whereas society and culture studies would come to 17k (over 1 FT study load). it also limits post grad study significantly (albeit not exactly in line with what you said).
The same thing is done with VET training with systems like user choice funding (Im obviously talking QLD specific)
Yeah, someone that is perpetually doing course after course on the tax-payer dollar while never using or applying what they've learned to anything productive is definitely the sort of educated population that is going to effect change in the world. They're definitely not the sort of person that drains the system while giving nothing back at all.
There are empty bridge overpasses somewhere for MAGA trolls
Got some mad boomer energy here. Go back to reaping the benefits of your past and present leeching exploits (CGT concessions, negative gearing, baby bonuses, free uni degrees, sufficient bulk billing funding, SRES/PVRP, ). Leave us youngins to our scraps.
My units included Programming, cybersecurity, UI and UX, and I used this for a system implementation project this year (previously only working an admin role) - so barely "general interest". I'll take anything that complements the work I'm doing - if they want to target a certain group that isn't me, they should include eligibility criteria.
Way to show you're no better than the bloke you're whinging about.And tar an entire cohort at the same time.LOL
My whole point is if you paint one person with the leech brush you open up the same critisism to anyone else who accepted a similar opportunity
I admit, I am no better haha but I also just posted in a bargains forum to talk about bargains
Yes, definitely a boomer. Not a millennial at all who had to pay for their Bachelors and Masters that had to be relevant to their career prospects, and is sick of the constant cost of living increases, due in part to tax dollars being wasted on nonsense, such as courses for people who just want a hand out and have no intention of ever actually applying what is learned. Literal billions are spent on CSP each year (13.76 billion in 2024 alone), and whilst I have no issues with them being used to subsidise courses and roles that have some relevancy to the real world/career prospects that will eventually lead to money back into the system to offset the money that was accessed, however there is absolutely no need for the tax payer to be footing the bill for your general interest course that was best said by Will (and paraphrased), "{The federal government} dropped thousands on a f——n' education you coulda' got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library (or free over their wifi anyways)".
Say what you want, but if OP is literally going through just looking for free courses to do for the sake of doing free courses, they are a leech.
$13.76B was the combined sum of CSP (7.8B), HECS (5.3B) and upront student payments (0.65B). I expected better research from a Post-Grad, you've stated the figure which incorporates the same method you would have utilised to pay for your your own studies.. https://andrewnorton.id.au/2024/05/16/2024-funding-by-univer…
Perhaps you'd benefit from Data Handling and Statistics unit, which you can study for free (fully CSP funded) in UTAS' UG Cert Data and Environmental Management or maybe, as I'm sure you'd you'd appreciate, you could go to the library or learn over wifi etc etc :) muppet
Worry about your own education, and everyone else will worry about theirs. I'm sorry the whole Master's thing didn't stick despite the cost incurred, and hope it will eventually lead to money back into the system for us all.
@Lubricatedwhale97: So you're refuting me by telling me I'm right in that literal billions are spent on CSP per year? Those free courses sure have been well spent on you.
Do you get off on saying to your friends, "Ooooh look, I did a free course, I'm so smart." Is that your thing? Typical leech.
@MeatyOne: You blew out a figure in support of your point by 43% in your tirade on people seeking education, while also spouting on about your Masters degree, and how people should educate themselves using the internet instead (I mean it's not working for you, clearly).
Government spends billions on all sorts of worthless schemes. Does that make anyone who derives a benefit from said schemes a leech?
And the ironic part about your whole point is the odds are that you also benefited from CSP (auto applied from 1989 to a majority of bachelor's degrees for domestic students). So despite all your criticisms of the system, you are a beneficiary of that exact system and exact figure you threw out (albeit for a different year).
But I think you're just too dumb to notice you're throwing stones in a glasshouse, and too soft to receive criticism after you've had fun dishing your own out.
- Leech Out
Imagine being triggered by people going into education.
Small people
I can think of more worthy targets at the trough.
Making religions pay tax, and forfeit their tax payer leg ups, would be a good start.
MAGA trolls are working hard!
I often find the opinions that are expressed in this forum to be quite confusing.
A few weeks ago, a different poster asked about info for some free TAFE courses somewhere on this forum (maybe even this section). Something about learning to tile from memory.
The poster got absolutely trashed and shamed for seeking free classes at the tax payers expenses for his own development.
Yet here we are wanting to give this dude a cape and tights because he's wanting to access some other type of free govt education.
As for OP. Yes, as evidenced just by your "boomer rant", you do need more education. Just shows whatever you've received so far hasn't been effective as clearly you have NFI what you're ranting about.
Most of your rant just wasn't true and the bits that eluded to some semblance of truth failed to recognise what those "benefits" actually looked like, how effective they were, why they were reworked/withdrawn and what they look like today.
Seems like you also fail to recognise how many more benefits you actually get than the "boomers" ever did and how the contributions of those "boomers" enabled everything you do receive that you seem to take for gad damn granted.
Just to get you started, dive a bit deeper into that "free university", Medicare provisions, baby bonuses and childcare provisions that the boomers apparently had access to. (No, I'm not a boomer).
Or maybe don't because you'll realise how embarrassed you should feel about that little uneducated, misinformed rant you vomited.
My 2c.
Govt can't even afford to provide a decent primary school education to a lot of Australians. The high school system is even worse.
Until we can provide a decent high school education to our kids, I reckon let the adults fend for themselves.
My 3c, the public primary education is going down and the childcare cost is going up.. What a wonderful world, till no children left to pay for our aged care services
