The Annual Student Contribution is levied on students attending Higher Education Institutions including Institutes of Technology. As part of changes included in Budget 2014, apprentices will now pay the same contribution fee as full-time students, but their contribution will be based on the time they spend in the Institutes.
This is typically one third of the Annual Student Contribution paid by students attending for the full academic year, but it can be greater for certain trades where longer periods are spent in Institutes of Technology. The amount due for full-time students for the academic year 2021/2022, which ends in June 2022 is €3,000.
The fees due by apprentices to Institutes of Technology for the duration of attendance is set out in the schedules below. The Student Contribution is payable on the date of registration for the training phase.
