An education training provider is offering school principals a taxpayer-funded course in Fiji.

The course is among the latest to hit the market since principals were offered a $6000 salary boost to pay for professional development.

Education training company Growth Culture is offering the Fiji conference, for $5700.

Secondary Principals' Association President Vaughan Couillault says there's been a noticeable increase in courses and programmes costing under $6000 since this pay bump.

"There certainly has been a bit of the private sector looking at ways to generate themselves some income."
