Fees Free Scheme
Check your Fees Free eligibility!
Starting in 2025, the Fees Free scheme will cover the final year or final two years of work-based training for a learner's first eligible qualification.
MAST Academy will continue to invoice employers for training and block courses. It is important that employers and new apprentices/trainees understand the changes, processes, and implications of the 'final year' Fees Free scheme, which allows apprentices to claim reimbursement through their myIR account only upon completion of their training.
Pre Trade Micro Credentials are not eligible for Fees Free.
For more information check out the fees free website.
