2025 EXTERNAL VOCATIONAL EDUCATON AND TRAINING COURSES
A range of courses are now open for application and you will find course information and the application process below. Please read the application guide carefully when applying for courses at North or South Metro TAFE, as there are a number of documents that you need to have ready to upload at the time of completing the online application. Completing the online application process in one sitting makes for a smoother application process.
NORTH METRO TAFE AND SOUTH METRO TAFE
These courses do not attract a course fee; however a number of the courses do have an incidental fee for materials and consumables.
Most courses are for one day per week over two years. This is a big commitment and the student needs to have a genuine interest in the course that they apply for.
If a student applies and is offered a place in a course, the student will then withdraw from one of the 6 MSC courses that they have selected, so that this VET course becomes part of their College program.
When applying please take into account the location of the campus at which the course is offered.
These courses are offered to all schools in the Perth metro area and have limited places, hence competition is high to gain an offer of placement.
TAFE will select students based on their Year 10 Semester 1 Report and the student statement that is completed during the online application process.
APPLICATION CLOSING DATES: North Metro : September 1st and South Metro : August 30th
No applications will be processed until after the closing date.
