What is VET Student Loans?
VET Student Loans – or short VSL – is a loan scheme provided by the Australian Government and designed to help eligible students to pay for their tuition fees. If you are an eligible student, the guaranteed government loan will help you to make your dream to become a professional Makeup Artist come true.
Only selected quality providers are VSL approved and AACM is proud to be able to offer access to VET Student Loans.

VET Student Loans is a loan and your VET Student Loan debt (VSL debt) must be paid back at the relevant repayment rate when your repayment income is above the compulsory repayment threshold. Additional loan fees may apply.

To be able to apply for a VET Student Loan, you must meet one of the following academic suitability requirements;
- Provide a copy of a Senior Secondary Certificate of Education for your completion of year 12 (Australian Year 12 Certificate); OR
- Provide a copy of a diploma that has been awarded for the completion of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program; OR
- Provide a copy of a successfully completed Certificate level 4 or above in the Australian Qualifications Framework and delivered in English; OR
- Undertake under AMAB’s supervision a literacy and numeracy test using AMAB’s nominated LLN testing tool Basic Key Skills Builder (BKSB) and display competency at or above Exit Level 3 in the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF).
AACM may require a student to undertake a LLN test in addition to providing the required information above. This is to ensure that AMAB is satisfied that you are academically suited to undertake your Diploma course.
All VET Student Loan amounts incurred on census days from 1 April 2020 to 30 June 2021 will not incur the usual 20% loan fee. This follows the Australian Government announcement of the loan fee exemption in the Higher Education Relief Package on 12 April and further extension announcement on 30 September 2020. You will not need to do anything for the exemption to be applied. Student VET Student Loan debt records with the ATO will automatically reflect the loan fee exemption.
A 20% loan fee applies to VET Student Loans. The loan fee does not count towards your HELP loan limit. You do not have to pay the loan fee upfront – it is added to your VET Student Loan debt at the Australian Tax Office (ATO).
For example, if you are undertaking a course that costs $5,000, and you intend to access a loan for the full cost of the course, the loan fee will be $1,000 (i.e. 20% of $5,000). So your VET Student Loan debt for that course will be the loan amount accessed ($5,000) + the loan fee ($1,000) = $6,000. You will incur the loan fee as you progress through your course on a per-unit basis – it is added to the loan amount you access for each unit.
You do not incur the loan fee if you are a student who is subsidised by a state or territory government and you are studying a diploma or advanced diploma course. This usually applies for all students enrolled at our Brisbane campus under the Queensland Higher Level Skills funding. If you are not sure if you are a subsidised VET student, contact us directly.
