tuition fees


Explanation:
it really does depend on the sentence. But when it comes to university course fees or university courses which are paid for, I would prefer to write tuition fees rather than paid course or anything like that.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  SagaLinguistics: Vocational is often translated with erhvervsrettet, -faglig eller -mæssig, and does not concern the tuition at all. Besides, the same goes for frit studium, i.e. an individually structured study, which is not predetermined in course plans etc.

tuition-based study/program


Explanation:
Another possibility, that comes very close to the meaning of the Danish term in question. In my own experience, it is very commonly used when discussing Canadian or U.S. post-secondary education.
