Flexible study options

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.

On campus

TAFE Queensland offers some of the best training facilities in the state, with advanced, industry-standard 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.

At School

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.

Industry experience

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.

Year 10 taster

Year 10 school students have access to a Year 10 Taster program which is funded by the Queensland Government. This is unique to TAFE Queensland and offered at no cost. The program allows students to experience an industry area without needing to commit to a full qualification or apprenticeship.

School-based apprenticeship or traineeship

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.

By choosing to start your first course in Year 10 in Semester 2, you can often complete two courses by the time you have six months left of school. This frees you up to concentrate on your studies for the rest of Year 12 so you can nail your final assignments and exams. Bonus: you’re ready to hit the ground running in finding a job to earn money, support a gap year or university studies, and kick start your career.

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.

Cost and payment options

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 VET in Schools (VETiS) funding, this is funded by the Queensland Government. The courses advertised as VETiS funded in this guide are only applicable if you have not accessed VETiS funding in the past.

For further information, please refer to desbt. qld.gov.au/training/providers/funded/ vetis. Eligible students are entitled to one VETiS 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.

Post-school options

Become an apprentice or trainee

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

Apply for a TAFE Queensland certificate or diploma

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

Get ready for university

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.

With the ability to study online and after hours, you can easily add a Unilearn subject or two to your senior schooling years. Unilearn subjects can also provide additional Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) credit points.

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

For more information visit tafeqld.edu.au/atp.

Go to university

There’s more than one way to get into your dream university course. Successfully completing a diploma at TAFE Queensland can help secure you a place in a bachelor degree through our partnerships with local universities.

In many cases, you can enter your university degree straight into second year, meaning you will receive a diploma and a degree in the same amount of time it usually takes to complete a degree on its own.

Many of our diploma courses have formal articulation arrangements with some of Australia’s top universities. This means your university may also give you credit for your study at TAFE Queensland, shaving time off your degree.

Information for schools

Partnership with schools program

TAFE Queensland’s Partnership with Schools Program means school teachers can deliver training to their students at their own school. 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.

Training for school teachers

TAFE Queensland offers low-cost training for school teachers with relevant industry experience so they can deliver VET programs at their school.

Teachers can train in certificate I and II courses relevant to the delivery of TAFE at School courses, as well as higher level qualifications for teachers who want to broaden their skills.

Teachers with existing industry-related experience may be eligible for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) to earn a full or partial qualification, with gap training available.

IVET online portal

TAFE Queensland has partnered with IVET to deliver greater timetable and delivery flexibility for teachers. IVET provides an online portal that enables teachers to have instant access to student progress, course information, digital resources, classroom management, PD logging, compliance, teacher qualification management, and more.

IVET currently facilitates a selection of TAFE at School courses across a range of study areas, and more will be added as development continues.

Teacher Aide training

TAFE Queensland also provides nationally-recognised training for teacher aides. Our strong relationships with schools means we can provide opportunities for your staff to gain knowledge and skills across a wide variety of workplace settings.

Information for parents

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.

About vocational education and training

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).

Why TAFE Queensland

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.

Busting VET myths

The 2017 Perceptions are Not Reality report from Skills Australia debunked some of the most common misconceptions about vocational education and training in Australia.

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.
