SYC’s Fees, Charges and Refunds

All course pricing information is made publicly available through the SYC website. Each page allocated to the respective course includes the fee information related to that program.

This procedure outlines the approach of SYC in setting, charging, collecting and refunding for training and assessment services. It ensures that learners are provided with clear information about fees and refund conditions before enrolment, in line with the Standards for RTOs 2025.

Academic Integrity and Misconduct

Students are expected to act reliably at all times, and only submit work that is their own, has been referenced appropriately and includes acknowledge of texts and resources where materials have been utilised in the development of their work.

SYC utilises integrated software, TurnItIn, to authenticate and validate student assessment submissions. Turnitin is an academic integrity tool used by educational institutions to help students develop strong writing skills and avoid plagiarism. When students submit work, Turnitin compares it to a vast database of online content, academic journals, and other student submissions, generating a similarity report to highlight potential matches.
