Ways you can study

You’ll learn face-to-face with a teacher in one of our learning spaces like a classroom, workshop, laboratory or simulated learning environment. You can also interact with your teachers using live video or web conference programs. You may also need to access our learning management system, Connect, to access resources, assessment details or submit assessments.

On campus with some online

You’ll primarily learn face-to-face with a teacher in one of our learning spaces like a classroom, workshop, laboratory or simulated learning environment. In this study mode you will attend a TAFE Queensland campus most of the time, but some of your classes or training may be via video or web conference programs (like Zoom).

Online self-directed

Our online self-directed courses are designed for individuals who want the flexibility to study at their own pace and cannot or prefer not to attend on campus or be locked into attending classes at specified times. You will access learning materials including documents, videos, assessments and more through Connect – our learning management system and will complete self-paced study.

Online virtual classroom

Your course will be delivered online, but to a scheduled timetable. To complete your study you will interact with your teachers and other students using live video or web conference programs (like Zoom), and access learning materials through Connect – our learning management system.

Recognition of prior learning (RPL)

If you’ve completed prior study or have significant work experience, applying for credit transfers or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) can reduce study time and costs.

Online with on campus practical training

Your course is primarily online, however you will need to come into a campus to undertake face-to-face practical learning and assessment. As an online student you will access learning materials through Connect – our learning management system and may interact with your teachers and other students using live video or web conference programs.

Residential blocks

Some of our courses are delivered via mixed mode in intensive blocks of training and distance education. You may be required to travel away from home to complete this type of study. Funding support may be available to assist students with travel, accommodation and meal costs. Students must provide evidence of ABSTUDY eligibility.

Apprenticeship

Earn while you learn. Work and earn a wage with an employer while you complete hands-on training and a nationally-recognised qualification.

Traineeship

Work and learn at the same time. Combine on-the-job training with an employer, while you study and get paid.

TAFE at School

If you’re a Year 10, 11 or 12 student, you can complete a range of certificate I, II or III courses. TAFE at School courses work in with your existing high school studies and also count towards your Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE).

Apprenticeships and traineeships

Apprenticeships and traineeships combine paid work with structured training to gain a qualification. At TAFE Queensland, we work with your employer to help you successfully gain competence in a trade (apprenticeship) or a vocational area (traineeship).

Upon completion, you may find yourself in a great place to keep working, go on to future study or even start your own business!

Did you know you can start an apprenticeship or traineeship during high school, after school or if you’ve been in the workforce for a long time?

Traineeships vary in length from six months to three years, while apprenticeships generally take three to four years to complete. TAFE Queensland will assist you and your employer to get started and will provide ongoing support every step of the way!

TAFE Queensland Skill sets

Skill sets are accredited short courses that are recognised by industry and lead to a qualification. They’re a great way to quickly build on existing skills and formal competencies or retrain in a new area without committing to a full qualification.

When you successfully complete a skill set you’ll be issued with a Statement of Attainment which is a nationally-recognised certification. Because the units you complete in a skill set are accredited, they can give you credit towards a related qualification such as a certificate or diploma if you choose to continue your study or training in the future.
