Take advantage of Free TAFE at Chisholm in 2023
by Mornington Peninsula Magazine

Whether you are starting your career, upskilling or considering a change in 2023, we’ve got great news for you. The Victorian Government is continuing its Free TAFE initiative, which covers tuition fees for students who are eligible for government-subsidised training.

You can join more than 115,000 students who have benefited from Free TAFE since it was introduced in 2019, saving more than $281 million in tuition fees. Free TAFE is available for more than 50 in-demand courses at Chisholm, across growth industries including community and social services, early childhood education, health, building and construction, automotive, horticulture and hospitality.

At Chisholm, we can help you to find a Free TAFE course that’s right for you. Here are seven reasons to study Free TAFE at Chisholm in 2023:

  1. You will gain practical, hands-on education where you will often undertake practical placement as part of your course.
  2. You will learn from industry professionals who understand the skills and knowledge needed in workplaces.
  3. TAFE classes are generally small, where you will get to know and work closely with your teacher and peers.
  4. Generally, there are fewer entry requirements than universities, including no ATAR requirements, which makes studying more accessible to some students.
  5. Studying a TAFE course provides you with credits and a pathway into the higher education sector, which is also offered for some courses at Chisholm.
  6. Chisholm is one of the largest training providers in Victoria, with modern facilities and industry-specific equipment incorporated into most courses.
  7. You can choose to study in a way that suits you – whether that’s close to home at one of our eight campus locations, online, or in your workplace.

We also provide scholarships through the Caroline Chisholm Education Foundation to eligible applicants to cover the cost of any materials associated with courses. To learn more, visit Chisholm.edu.au/freetafe
