for you.
Full-time study at TAFE is generally 20 hours of training per week
across three to four days.
TAFE has very flexible entry. Most students will be eligible to enter a
TAFE course at some level as long as they meet the basic academic
requirements and English language level. Students who do not meet
the required English standard can study ELICOS (English) at TAFE prior
to the start of their main course.
TAFE courses are generally made up of connecting courses that build on
each other (pathways). There are often two or more entry points (year
10 and year 12) and students can exit the course at the completion
of any stage.
The example below is typical of a TAFE course structure.
