The courses shown at €0 have no tuition fee for Maltese and EU students; most are at the University of Malta. The others cost under €500 after funding: you pay the fee first, then MySkills refunds most of it or Get Qualified gives it back as a tax credit. The cost shown assumes you're employed; if you're not working, MySkills refunds 100%, so MySkills courses cost you nothing.

Are there other free courses in Malta?

Yes. Jobsplus runs free courses, mainly for jobseekers, and the Ministry for Education's Lifelong Learning evening courses cost about €12 to €47 each. They aren't on the Get Qualified or MySkills lists, so they aren't listed here.Other funding and free courses
