High school students or recently graduated students can do TAFE in preparation for going onto another institution like Federation University, or undertake training courses that will make them immediately employable.

Employees who are already trained can choose to do further training in their area of expertise, either by getting a higher level qualification (like a graduate diploma) or by doing a course in a specific skill area. For example, a receptionist who works in a dentist’s office may do a course in dental assisting so that they can better understand their workplace and colleagues, and even move into dental assisting long term.

There is a range of courses available in Ballarat. Depending on the qualification level, a short course, online course or apprenticeship pathway course/pre-apprenticeship may prepare you to work as soon as you’ve finished your vocational education, or prepare you for further training.
