Welcome
...as always, we will be fl exible in adapting our training to ensure it meets your needs...
“ “Welcome to TAFE SA’s 2017 Course Guide.
Across South Australia, and increasingly
interstate and overseas, people look
to TAFE SA for courses and programs
they want to study to support their job,
career or personal goals.
As was recognised in our winning the
South Australian Training Awards’
Large Training Provider of the Year Award
in September 2016, our courses and
programs open doors and transform lives.
They provide job-specifi c licences, build
competency in professional skills, and
contribute to degrees with internationally
recognised universities.
They help newcomers to Australia learn
English and people in remote locations
access training critical to employment
and business productivity.
They encourage people to develop
interests in fi elds such as cooking, fi tness
and computer skills, which contribute to
positive social outcomes and in many
cases new career opportunities.
Whether you hope to develop skills to
enter the workforce, qualify for professional
opportunities or pursue different goals,
TAFE SA offers Vocational Education and
Training (VET) programs to help.
We work closely with employers and
industry groups to develop our VET
programs, ensuring they provide our
students with the skills and expertise
they need to be valuable members of
the workforce – from day one. We seek
and adopt the latest innovative training
methods, such as mobile classrooms and
simulation facilities, to prepare students
to contribute to employers’ goals in real-
world work environments.
In addition to our VET programs, an
increasing number of short courses –
across topics ranging from fashion
illustration to furniture making to fi nancial
markets – enhance knowledge and skills in
areas of personal or professional interest.
This Course Guide refl ects the many
changes we’re making at TAFE SA after
statewide consultation about the training
you want, and how and where you want it
delivered. The changes won’t stop here,
however; as always, we will be fl exible in
adapting our training to ensure it meets
your needs and the needs of employers
in your communities, and so contribute to
industry development and regional growth.
At TAFE SA, we encourage you to
‘Be Yourself’ – to fi nd training that matches
your interests and your career goals.
I hope you will fi nd in this guide a course
that meets your needs, so that you’re soon
one of the many thousands of people
enjoying the study and other benefi ts we
offer through our world-class online and
face-to-face training.
I look forward to having you join us.

DUAL OFFER COURSES
Secure your pathway to university and
gain a competitive edge by studying a
dual offer course. Dual offer courses enable

and a connected university program at
the same time.
You will gain guaranteed entry with credit
into the university degree upon successful
completion of the TAFE SA qualifi cation.
This will give you vocational and academic
qualifi cations, setting you apart from
other graduates.
TAFE SA has more than 60 dual offer
courses in partnership with the South
Australian public universities.
CREDIT TRANSFER
Credit transfer is a way for your TAFE SA
qualifi cation to be recognised at university
– so you don’t have to repeat study for the
skills you’ve already gained.
Universities will recognise your qualifi cation
for some time after you have graduated,
so you don’t have to apply to university
straight away – you may choose to work
for a while and then return to study to
further your career.
We work closely with universities to create
clear credit pathways, so you can easily
plan your future study.
UNIVERSITY ENTRY
Once you have successfully completed a
TAFE SA qualifi cation at Certifi cate IV level
or higher, you can use this to apply for

degrees which combine industry-focused
applied content and academic rigour.
A TAFE SA Associate Degree provides you
with a strong base to either enter
the workforce or continue your studies
at university.

Many university students also undertake
study at TAFE SA to increase their
employability by gaining industry-specifi c
practical skills. The knowledge and skills
gained through university study may be
recognised at TAFE SA, allowing you to
fast-track your vocational qualifi cation.

APPRENTICESHIPS
Employers who choose TAFE SA for
training are giving their apprentices
and trainees a strong foundation of
practical skills and knowledge that will
be of lasting benefi t to their business.
For the student, an apprenticeship
or traineeship is an opportunity to
receive structured training and gain
a nationally recognised qualifi cation
while undertaking paid employment.
Apprenticeships and traineeships are
available in a wide range of industries and
are open to people of any age. Training is
usually conducted both in the workplace
and at TAFE SA.
Apprenticeships traditionally focus on trade-
related areas such as automotive, building,
construction, hairdressing and plumbing,
and are usually completed in four years.
Traineeships are similar to apprenticeships
and are also offered in a wide range of
declared vocations but generally are
completed in one or two years. However,
traineeships and apprenticeships can be
completed once all the competencies have
been achieved.
tafesa.edu.au/apprenticeships
AUSTRALIAN SCHOOL-BASED APPRENTICESHIP
A school-based apprenticeship or
traineeship is not that different from a regular
apprenticeship or traineeship except that you
attend school while continuing your training.
As a school-based apprentice or trainee, you
will have an employer who will employ and
train you on the job, plus you will do some
formal off-the-job training with TAFE SA.
You will attend school part of the week, go
to work on some days and attend TAFE SA
on other days.
Enrolling in a school-based apprenticeship
or traineeship has benefi ts including:
> your training will contribute towards your
SACE (or equivalent)
> you will start your chosen career or trade
while you’re still at school
> you will earn money while you learn
> you will gain experience in the trade or
vocation of your choice
> your school-based training will convert
to full-time or part-time when you
leave school.
