Requesting a Qualification Deferral

How deferrals work

A deferral allows you to temporarily place your course and/or payments on hold for up to 25% of your total course timeline. For example, a 12-month qualification allows a maximum 3-month deferral.

Deferrals are not available for courses with a total duration of 6 months or less. Deferral fees apply at $30 per month, payable before your deferral takes effect.

You can choose one of the following deferral periods:

• 1 Month – $30

• 2 Months – $60

• 3 Months – $90

If you require additional time beyond the maximum deferral period, you will need to apply for a course extension instead.

How to apply

1. Complete the Request for Qualification Deferral form.
   You’ll be asked to provide:

   • Your personal and contact details

   • The qualification you are deferring

   • Whether the deferral applies to your course timeline, payments, or both

   • The date you’d like your deferral to commence

   • The duration of your deferral

   • A short explanation of why you’re requesting the deferral

2. Agree to the conditions outlined on the form, including:

   • Deferrals take effect once payment is received.

   • Upon recommencement, you must meet any updated training package requirements that have come into effect.

3. Submit the form and payment through the secure online portal.

Please allow up to 7 days for your deferral request to be reviewed and processed. You’ll receive an email notification once your application has been finalised.

Important notes

• Deferrals cannot exceed 3 months per 12-month enrolment.

• Upon recommencing your studies, your remaining course time resumes from where you left off.

• Onfit Training College may decline a deferral if it would jeopardise compliance as a Registered Training Organisation or negatively affect your study progression. In this case, the deferral fee will be refunded.
