“I chose to pursue the Certificate IV in Engineering to capitalise on the Free TAFE opportunities still around, and to expand my skills beyond those I gained during my Engineering – Mechanical apprenticeship. Getting to experience different types of advanced machining, 2D-3D drawings and the integration of welding/fabrication units all motivated me to apply. I believe in pushing boundaries; with dedication, anything is achievable.”

The hands-on learning really stood out, and it pushed me to keep going.

“TAFE was the perfect transition for me. I didn’t finish Year 12, and jumping straight into university felt overwhelming, but the Certificate IV in Allied Health Assistance gave me the confidence, hands - on experience, and time to figure out where I fit. It exposed me to different areas of healthcare and helped me realise I could do more than I thought.
