Students often want to explore career pathways but do not know where to start or are overwhelmed with the amount of information out there. To make things easy we recommend to our students the app Career Planet www.careerplanet.earth which integrates all students need to know about career guidance into one place.

University

Universities grant academic degrees and focus on equipping graduates to work as professionals in their chosen areas. All courses expect high levels of written communication, problem solving, independent learning and research skills.

If you are looking for information to help you choose an institution, or an undergraduate course, you can go to the new Quality Indicators of Learning and Teaching (QILT) website, which will give you feedback from thousands of students about their experiences studying higher education in Australia. This is at www.qilt.edu.au.

TAFE

TAFE Institutes offer a range of mainly vocational tertiary education and courses including Certificate III & IV, Diplomas and Advanced Diplomas. Entry to these courses often requires completion of Year 12, however, some courses only require completion of Year 10 or Year 11. Courses at TAFE can be as short as 8 weeks or as long as 3 years. Many can be studied during the day or evening, part time or full time.

Students require maturity, commitment and responsibility to succeed in TAFE environments. TAFE courses can be practical, innovative and interactive.

For TAFE courses available in Victoria go to The Victorian Skills Gateway, a one-stop-shop for vocational training in Victoria.
