Please note:

• New fees for VRQA regulatory activities have been approved to apply to all accreditation applications received from 1 January 2013. These fees are set by Ministerial Order 615, which was made on 21 December 2012. This order was subject to the Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) process.
• Details of the new fees payable can be found on the VRQA website at
• When you lodge your application for short term renewal with the VRQA an invoice will be sent for payment.There may be a reduction of the course renewal fee for each course for a short term renewal if the VRQA costs are less than the maximum fee.
• Fees are payable prior to any assessment or other services being provided by the VRQA. Once the accreditation fee has been paid, the VRQA will assess your application.
