*Current secondary school students applying for entry into Semester 1 2024 will be assessed based on their Semester 1 results from their current year of study. TAFE Admissions will predict end of year outcomes based on these results.
Should the end of year results differ significantly from Semester 1 results, the college may suggest alternative options to the student.
Students currently studying a qualification under the VET for Secondary Students program will be assessed based on an assumption that they will successfully complete their qualification. They may be required to provide their academic record or qualification as proof of completion at time of enrolment. Should the qualification not be completed, applicants may become ineligible for an offer and the college will work with those applicants on alternative options.
Our popular courses are known as ‘competitive’. This means that more applications are anticipated to be received than there are places available.
All applications for these courses will undergo a selection criteria process that will rank each application against set criteria.
Applicants applying for competitive courses will be asked to provide additional information to support the TAFE Admissions ranking process.
If you apply for a competitive course, think about also entering a non-competitive alternative. Applicants can select up to four preferences in their application.
Applicants meeting entry requirements are ranked against academic achievement and work history. Offers will be issued to applicants with the highest total points scores.
Academic Achievement (Maximum 60 points)

Note: Work history does not need to be related to the course you are applying for.
Many students choose to build their foundation skills by starting with an entry-level certificate, and then working their way through the qualification (opens in a new tab) levels.
Applicants with previous work experience and a solid understanding of the industry may be able to start in a high-level qualification.
