Help us improve! Suggestion Box

Background: Since 2002, the increase in the number of applicants for our short courses compared to previous years resulted in programs often becoming full before the application deadline had passed.

Immediate Objectives: To encourage early applications for all our programs we have replaced the passes that were available previously with one, single 'early bird' discount which gives a 5% reduction on the total program fees and some discounts on accommodation. This change came into effect for all programs beginning from April 1st 2003.

Last Updated: 2007/01/25

All start dates for our Academic and Extension programs are eligible for the early bird discount EXCEPT those indicated below.

To obtain the early bird discount pass, you need to complete the following four steps a minimum of 16 weeks before the commencement date of your course:

Program application form

sending of passport photos

Tuition payment in full (or proof thereof such as faxing through the remittance sheet from your bank)

Application form for pass (accessed from bottom of this page)

Please note that if you are:

Applying for a student visa, or

Paying the monthly accommodation rate as per a student visa holder (for example if studying for more than 3 months using a working holiday or other visa

then you will not be eligible for the discount pass. The discounts below are only applicable to weekly accommodation rates. Questions regarding the discount pass can be made by contacting Admissions directly. Please note that none of the accommodation discounts are percentage based - to make it easier for calculation.

Conditions of use:

1. Each pass has a printed start/finish date. If you extend your enrollment beyond the printed finish date, then the discount will not be extended unless the new finish date is still within the off-season/shoulder season period.

2. A pass is not transferable. If you defer to a later start/finish date, the pass is invalid for the period beyond the original stamped date. If you defer to a later start/finish date your pass can be re-issued, provided you are still enrolling in one of the eligible programs/start dates.

3. A pass is not transferable to other applicants. It is only valid for the student name and ID number printed on the pass.

4. Each Discount pass cannot be cashed or transferred. It can only be used during the period your pass is valid for.

5. If you change your accommodation, the balance of fees will be charged or refunded before the change - not after.

6. If you decide to transfer of your own accord from a program or start date that is eligible for a discount to one without eligibility for the pass, then the pass is invalidated.

7. The early bird discount pass cannot be used in conjunction with any other discount such as working holiday or JET program participant discount. You can only apply for one type of discount.

How to apply for a Discount Pass:

1. Complete your program application form for a short course of 3 months duration or less.

2. Send your passport photographs.

3. Transfer the tuition fee (if close to the deadline, fax the bank's remittance sheet as proof of transfer)

4. Receive your Yamasa Institute Student Identification Number from Admissions

5. Once the above 4 steps have been completed, CLICK HERE to apply.

You will receive the discount pass, together with your Student ID, card on the first day of the program.
