Study in Australia

What are TAFEs and how is the quality of education?

The Technical and Further Education System (TAFE) in Australia was formed about 30 years ago. It is an Australia-wide system providing extensive range of education and training services. Its main stream courses are government oriented. TAFE courses are more vocationally oriented and on completion, you are ready for a job. After completion of the diplomas one can directly articulate into any university of his/her choice. Normally one-year credit is given for the TAFE diplomas.

TAFE courses are taught in modern, well-equipped colleges but some specialist courses are delivered in the workplace, in the student’s home or in overseas countries.

TAFE courses provide training for: accounting, administration, advertising, banking, catering, construction, drafting, manufacturing, telecommunication, tourism, trade and many more specializations.
