Vocational education provides practical workplace skills that help you move directly into a career. Australia is known for its world class Vocational Education Training (VET) programmes. Courses are offered by both public institutions like TAFE and some private schools. There are up to 6 levels of graduation, on completion of which you can obtain certifications, Diploma or Advanced Diploma. The duration of each level varies from 6 months to 2 years.

Besides, these courses offer flexible schedules that can fit within your work or study routine. Depending on the school and certification level, the course fees range between 2200 and 12000 AUD per semester (approx 20 weeks).

The Vocational Education and Training Sector visa (subclass 572) is required if you want to stay in Australia to study the VET courses.
