Funding Now Available in NSW

In a win for our students, Built Form Design Academy have recently been successful in receiving Smart and Skilled funding in NSW. Receiving this funding is a great achievement for our school, and we are very happy to be able to share this news with our students and community.

The funding applies to CPP40121, Certificate IV in Residential Drafting, and CPP50921, the Diploma of Building Design.

The funding is supplied by the NSW Government, and covers up to almost 80% of course costs. Funding is approved for both coursework and recognition of prior learning (RPL). This means that NSW students studying the Certificate IV pay approximately $2,300, and, depending on your circumstances, your costs may be even lower.

Built Form Design Academy was the first, and is still one of the only colleges offering the Certificate IV in Residential Drafting.

Our students commence with the Certificate IV as this is the entry level course, and is a requirement for entry to the Diploma. If you are working in the industry as a building design drafter or building designer, you may be eligible for RPL for the Certificate IV, or even the Diploma!

Our courses are delivered online, with enrolment available on any business day.

You can be qualified with a Certificate IV in 9 months of full-time study, and some of our students have completed the qualification in less time than this!

The construction industry is the largest in the country, and many of our students find work in industry jobs prior to completion of the Certificate IV.
