Your course will be free of charge, so you won't have to pay your tuition, registration, exam and certification fees.

However you may have to pay for specialist equipment or materials that are not included in the course fees, and also for trips and visits. And if you decide to take extra qualifications you may need to pay the fees for these courses.
