TAFE Queensland offers flexible study options so you can gain a VET qualification while you’re still at school in a way that best suits you.
TAFE Queensland offers some of the best training facilities in the state, with advanced, industrystandard workspaces and classrooms. All training is delivered in an adult learning environment so you’ll get a taste of what it’s like to study in a higher education setting. You’ll also learn from our highly-qualified teachers and benefit from their vast experience.
Many Queensland schools have partnered with TAFE Queensland to deliver vocational qualifications. School teachers are given specific training so they are qualified to deliver TAFE Queensland courses. Even if you undertake your training at school, you will still receive a TAFE Queensland qualification when you complete your course.
Some TAFE at School courses require you to complete work placements, or in some instances to work in the industry. This gives you the opportunity to build your skills and confidence dealing with real-life situations. Work placement requirements should be discussed with your teacher prior to commencement of study.
TAFE Queensland’s Career Tasters program is the perfect opportunity for Year 10 students to explore exciting career pathways in a fun, hands-on environment. The program includes interactive activities, industry insights and practical sessions - giving students a real-world look at potential careers.
TAFE Queensland offers both school-based apprenticeships and traineeships, which get you work-ready and a step ahead of your peers.
Becoming a school-based apprentice or trainee gives you skills in a vocation or trade and allows you to earn money while you’re still at school. A school-based apprenticeship or traineeship also contributes credits towards your Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE).
After selecting the industry you are interested in and talking with your school and parents/ guardians, your next step is to secure employment as an apprentice or trainee. An employer can be found through family and friends, by directly contacting employers and group training organisations, or by applying for advertised jobs.
Once you have secured an apprenticeship or traineeship, just let your employer know you want to study with us.
School-based apprentices and trainees do not pay fees for training at TAFE Queensland, this is funded by the Queensland Government; however you may need to pay some costs for tools and compulsory personal protective equipment, which we will outline upon enrolment. When you become a full-time apprentice or trainee after completing Year 12, you may be eligible for fee-free training for the remainder of your apprenticeship.
For more information about school-based apprenticeships or traineeships call 1800 210 210 or visit desbt.qld.gov.au/training
Enrolment into TAFE at School courses is subject to eligibility requirements. Talk to your VET coordinator or guidance counsellor, or visit our website for more information.

Most TAFE at School courses have intakes in Semester 1 and/ or Semester 2, so you can choose to start studying at a time that suits you.
If you are a TAFE at School student, your regular school support programs are also responsible for ensuring you receive appropriate levels of support while at TAFE. It is expected that if your school normally provides you with a participation assistant or similar for day-to-day learning or personal support, then they also provide this support when you attend your TAFE at School course.
Costs vary from course-to-course and you can check our website for the most up-todate prices. You may be eligible for a range of fee-free TAFE at School courses, covered under Career Ready funding, this is funded by the Queensland Government. The courses advertised as Career Ready funded in this guide are only applicable if you have not accessed Career Ready funding in the past.
For further information, please refer to desbt. qld.gov.au/training/providers/funded/ vetis. Eligible students are entitled to one Career Ready funded program only.
Payment plans may also be available to assist with payment of your course; however if you’re under 18 you will need a guarantor. Applications will be subject to credit checks.

Learn hands on with the same equipment and tools used in industry, combining working for an employer and studying at TAFE Queensland, and graduate with a nationally-recognised qualification.
Applying for an apprenticeship or traineeship is very similar to applying for any other job. You need to have a current resume that lists your education, interests and referees. Studying a TAFE at School pre-apprenticeship course can boost your chances of landing your dream job by demonstrating to a potential employer that you’re actively interested in their industry.
The first step is to visit an Apprenticeship Network Provider (ANP) to help connect you with an employer. Once you have secured your apprenticeship, talk to your employer about choosing TAFE Queensland as your training provider. Your employer will sort out the formalities of your training contract directly with TAFE Queensland.
For more information visit tafeqld.edu.au/apprentices.
After successfully completing a TAFE at School course/s you may be eligible for direct entry into any related TAFE Queensland diploma.
It’s as simple as getting in contact with us and letting us know which course you want to study.
Check out our website to see our full range of courses, from certificates through to diplomas and degrees at tafeqld.edu.au/courses
If you need to complete additional prerequisites for university during or after high school, Unilearn is the perfect option. You can study a range of subjects from maths and science to senior English.

Alternatively if you want to increase your tertiary admissions rank, our Adult Tertiary Preparation (ATP) course can help you achieve your goals.

TAFE Queensland provides the school with mentor support, learning and assessment resources, and advice on training delivery and student assessment to ensure the delivery of the highest standard of industry-relevant training.
Even though students are completing their training at school, they are enrolled with TAFE Queensland and are issued with a TAFE Queensland qualification on completion of their studies.
To discuss a customised partnership arrangement for your school, please contact your local TAFE at School team.
TAFE Queensland offers low-cost training for school teachers with relevant industry experience so they can deliver VET programs at their school.

It’s tough being a teenager in their final years of school, trying to decide what to do with the rest of their lives. The pressure’s on as early as Year 10 and it feels like results and choices will make or break their future.
It can be tough for parents too. Knowing when to intervene or when to take a step back seems impossible at times. But your behind-the-scenes role is crucial to their success.
University is not for everyone. Vocational training is not for everyone. Education is for everyone.
Most careers need some form of education and training. But they don’t all require a university degree. There are a variety of reasons your child or students should consider vocational education and training (VET). Perhaps they want to enter a trade, test out an industry, gain Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) credits, or maybe they just need to improve or contribute towards their Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR).
Not everyone learns in the same way or at the same pace. At TAFE Queensland there are as many options as there are individuals with pathway options to suit your child’s needs and help them kick start their career.

Skills Australia has debunked some of the most common misconceptions about vocational education and training in Australia1.
MYTH: Almost 30 per cent of Australians believe that university graduates find work more easily than VET graduates.
FACT: VET graduates have a higher employment rate than university graduates. The average employment rate of a VET graduate is 78 per cent (it’s 69 per cent for university graduates).
MYTH: One in five Australians believe that VET graduates earn less than university graduates.
FACT: The average VET graduate actually earns similar wages to, if not more than, an average university graduate.
MYTH: Three in five Australians believe we need university education more than VET to thrive in a globally competitive world. Almost half those people think VET is no longer as relevant as university education.
FACT: VET aims to provide the skills we need to keep up with our quickly changing employment and industry trends. Additionally VET provides courses for nine out of 10 occupations predicted to have the greatest growth of new jobs over the next five years.
