Browse TAFE Courses

One of the great things about Australia’s education system is the way in which it makes higher education accessible to all citizens.

TAFE is designed to bridge the gap between school and university, providing important theory and practical experience in several fields of study for students of all ages.

They can also be used as a pathway to undergraduate degrees.

All of the courses conform to a predetermined national standard to ensure consistency in the quality of the education, as well as consistency in the material covered. Each region in Australia has its own TAFE institutes, which we will explore in more detail.

Popular TAFE Courses

  • Certificate III in Education Support (Teacher’s Aide)
  • Certificate III in Individual Support (Aged Care)
  • Certificate IV in Accounting and Bookkeeping
  • Certificate IV in Beauty Therapy
  • Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing
  • Diploma of Beauty Therapy
  • Diploma of Community Services
  • Diploma of Counselling

What is TAFE?

TAFE is Australia’s way of ensuring that its citizens have the knowledge and the skills needed to thrive in the workplace. It helps to address the country’s skills shortages in essential fields by allowing students to progress step-by-step, at their own pace through the different levels of qualifications available. In this way, people are able to reach their full potential and help drive Australia’s economy forward.

TAFE Definition

TAFE stands for Technical and Further Education. Its approach to education is comprehensive in that it combines essential, industry-relevant practical skills with essential, industry-relevant theory. The result is students with well-rounded knowledge of their chosen field.

TAFE, VET & AQF

TAFE and VET overlap in many ways, but there are some differences between them.

VET (Vocational Education and Training) concentrates on a specific vocation. The education and training provided are narrowly focused on a particular job within a field, and not on the broader field itself. The courses are primarily practical and non-academic. VET courses are often geared towards school-leavers who are going to enter a specific trade; for example, plumbing or bricklaying. However, VET courses in Australia are starting to broaden, providing students with a more holistic education.

TAFE (Technical and Further Education) courses have a strong practical element, they also have an academic focus. This provides a more comprehensive view of the field, and not just the specific trade. The qualifications are graded, so Certificate I courses are suitable for those who may not have completed high school. They may then work up the ladder to Advanced Diploma level, which allows them to enter university and complete undergraduate degrees.

AQF stands for Australian Qualifications Framework; it regulates the training and education sector, which includes school, VET, and TAFE qualifications, as well as the institutes that provide the qualifications. It allows students to trust the quality of their education, and it allows employers to trust the quality of their new recruits.

Browse TAFE Courses

Why Go To TAFE?

There’s plenty of benefits to going to TAFE, which can really help your career and experience. Some of the best reasons to go to TAFE include:

  • Entry requirements are not nearly as strict as for university study. There are no entry requirements for Certificate I courses, for instance, and if you’ve completed your A levels, you may enter at the TAFE Diploma level
  • TAFE is flexible. They can be studied part-time, full-time, online or on-campus
  • Some TAFE institutes offer rolling registrations, so you can apply for and start your course whenever it’s convenient for you. In other words, you don’t have to wait for semester dates
  • TAFE is affordable, and there are several government funding programs that make higher education even more accessible, no matter what your income or budget
  • TAFE qualifications can be used as pathways to undergraduate degrees and can shorten the period of undergraduate study by up to a year
  • Some TAFE institutes are able to offer undergraduate degree courses and graduate certificates and diplomas, so you don’t even have to transfer to another school
  • TAFE is ideal for people who want to change careers and who need to study for their new profession while still working in their old one
  • TAFE can be used for continuing professional development
  • Short courses can also be used to develop a new hobby or expand on existing hobby skills

What Study Options Are Available?

TAFE is extremely flexible. It comes in a variety of formats which suit just about any lifestyle. There are part-time and full-time courses, and courses that can be considered a hybrid of both. There are on-campus options and online courses for people who may not be geographically close to an institute or who need to balance work, study, and family commitments. There are also semester-based courses and rolling courses, which are usually offered by online TAFE providers.

  • Semester Courses

    TAFE semester courses are structured according to predetermined dates: application dates, starting dates, assignment dates, exam dates, and closing dates, etc. All on-campus courses are semester based, but not all online courses are. Semesters vary from region to region and institute to institute, so TAFE in VIC may not start at the same time as those in QLD.

  • Online Courses

    Most TAFE institutes offer students online study options, even though they may be traditional brick and mortar institutions. It’s important to note that not all courses are suited to online study. If this is the case, some institutes may offer hybrid courses in which students have to attend a certain number of practicals, tutorials, or lecture hours per study unit or course.

  • Short Courses

    TAFE short courses serve a number of purposes. They can be introductory courses for certain applications, like beginners courses in Microsoft Word. Interested parties can then increase their skills with intermediate and advanced courses. They can also top up existing skills, for example, research methodology for doctorate students, or BAS Registration for accountants and tax professionals. Short courses vary in duration from half-day to six weeks.

Types of Government Funding

The Australian government wants to make higher education and training accessible to all its citizens. As a result, it has launched several government funds and subsidy programs for people who want to improve their skills through TAFE and VET courses. Subsidies are also available for employers who want to help develop their staff members’ skills.

Australian Apprentices Program

There are several apprenticeship funding programs designed to encourage training and development in the emerging workforce.
Some of the programs include:

  • Tools For Your Trade Payment: Apprentices are given tax exempt cash payments to cover all training costs. Apprentices must be enrolled in Certificate III or IV courses on the National Skills Needs List, although there are certain exceptions.
  • Living Away from Home Allowance: Apprentices are given a living allowance for the first three years of their training away from home.
  • Support for Adult Australian Apprentices: Designed to encourage adults to improve their skills and training. The payment amount is determined according to the wages the apprentice earns. Criteria include being 25 years and old, and being enrolled in Certificate III or IV courses on the National Skills Needs List.
  • Support for Australian Apprentices with Disability: Includes several initiatives for employers who want to accommodate more disabled apprentices and the disabled apprentices themselves.
  • Apprentice Kickstart Initiative: Is aimed at employers to encourage businesses to offer apprenticeships in building and construction, and engineering.

Other Funding Programmes

National Workforce Development Fund (NWDF): Aims to encourage organisations to assess their current and future workforce development needs, so that they can apply for the funding necessary to train new and existing workers to meet those needs. Applications are open to organisations, Registered Training Organisations, existing workers, and new workers.
Skills Connect Fund: Allows employers to comprehensively address their development needs by accessing TAFE and VET courses, and mentoring programs and support services.

Auswide Colleges New Enterprise Incentive Scheme (NEIS): For unemployed people who are over 18 years old and who want to start their own small business. The program is funded by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations. Participants are required to complete TAFE Certificate IV in Small Business Management, and will receive a further 52 weeks of income support and mentoring.

Loan Schemes & Financial Assistance

In Australia, subsidised higher education fees and government loans are called HELP (Higher Education Loan Program). There are several different types of HELP available. These include:

  • HECS-HELP: A loan scheme and discount program for Commonwealth supported students.
  • FEE-HELP: A loan scheme that helps students pay all or a portion of their tuition fees. Students have a FEE-HELP limit; this depends on the field being studied.
  • SA-HELP: A loan scheme that helps pay for all or a portion of student services and amenities fees, including sporting activities, child care, food services, and financial advice.
  • VET Student Loans: This replaced the previous VET FEE- HELP. For students taking higher level VET courses; i.e., diploma level and above. It is used for tuition fees and not sundry study costs.
