WELCOME TO THE TAFE AT SCHOOL INFORMATION HUB

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we have moved this year's TAFE at School VET forum to an online platform.

While it’s disappointing that we won't be meeting you in person, the health and well-being of our community is our top priority.

We have replaced our TAFE at School VET Forums with this Hub that will provide you with all the information, testimonials, and updates on vocational education and training that you need to have meaningful conversations with your students.

This site will be updated regularly, so please bookmark it and check back regularly to keep up to date with TAFE at School activities, events, and information.

In the coming weeks, the TAFE at School teams will also be hosting a virtual Q&A forum, where you’ll be able to join us in a live session and take a virtual tour of our campuses. Please keep your eye out for your invitation email to register, or register on this page closer to the event.

Take care and keep safe.

From your TAFE at School team.

All you need to know about funding

What is VETiS funding? Do you have payment plans? Do I get a concession discount? How can I tell if I’ve used my VETiS funding? I thought my school was paying for my course? Can I use Cert III Guarantee funding to pay for my Certificate III?

These are just some of the questions that we receive from students, so we’ve called in our resident funding expert, Liz Filipe to help with these questions and more.

This video was edited by Alex Schulstad, Diploma of Screen and Media student, Mt Gravatt campus.

Eligible students may be able to access a range of independent and government funding to help subsidise the cost of training.

VET in Schools (VETiS) funding is a program that enables students to gain nationally-recognised qualifications while still in high school.

TAFE Queensland has been approved by the department as a pre-qualified supplier (PQS) under the Certificate 3 Guarantee to deliver VETiS eligible qualifications. VETiS qualifications funded by the VET investment budget are listed on the Priority Skills List.

Students in years 10, 11, and 12 can complete one employment stream qualification at the Certificate I or II level. If you are unsure which TAFE Queensland courses qualify for VETiS funding, keep your eye out for this handy symbol in the 2021 TAFE at School Course Guide.

For more information on VETiS funding, check out;

For more information on subsidised training, scholarships and payment plans, head over to our funding page on our website.

TAFE Queensland’s micro-credentials are short, highly targeted courses designed to help you improve a specific skill. Our micro-credentials will help you improve your career prospects, maintain currency in your field, or allow you to try out something completely new.

After completing one of our micro-credential courses you will be issued with a digital badge, which can be verified online, giving anyone you share it with evidence of your capability.

Our isolearn micro-credential range is completely free, delivered 100 per cent online, and are self-directed. Typically, they take an hour or so to complete, but if you like, take your time, or do more than one.

Spend less time organising and more time teaching with TAFE at School online solutions powered by IVET.

TAFE Queensland has partnered with IVET to offer further flexible delivery options for teachers. The relationship allows us to offer a TAFE Queensland branded online portal proposition that enables teachers to have instant access to student progress, course information, digital resources, classroom management, PD logging, compliance and teacher qualification management.

Under this arrangement, TAFE Queensland currently facilitates several Partnerships with Schools across a range of study areas, with the intention to provide more offerings in 2020 and 2021.

This is also a very valuable and beneficial option for a mid-year intake, should students find themselves needing to change academic pathways.

It’s time to recognise the valuable contribution our teacher aides make to the education and support of children across Queensland State schools, by recognising their skills and experience with a qualification.

As part of the Queensland Department of Education’s Standing Offer Arrangement (SOA QED101115), TAFE Queensland is providing the Certificate III in Education Support (CHC30213) through a recognition of prior learning (RPL) process.

Schools will fund the cost of the process under the SOA, so there are no costs to the individual.

TAFE Queensland is a multi-award winning organisation and industry seeks out our graduates. A qualification from TAFE Queensland isn’t just a piece of paper. It represents quality—your hard work, verified by our industry experts.

After a rewarding 20 years of helping children learn, Marina Dunn was assessing her options for career progression when she was given the opportunity as an employee of Education Queensland to undertake formal training online through TAFE Queensland’s RPL process. In just over three weeks, Marina has been able to complete a Certificate III in Education Support (CHC30213) with TAFE Queensland, shaving time off her course by getting credit for her experience through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). Read more about Marina’s story here.

Sometimes we can’t compete on price — that’s because the service we offer is robust, and quality. Our assessors are industry experts, and they will review the evidence you have submitted to ensure that it meets standards.

The process is simple - call us on 1300 775 397 or email RPL@tafe.qld.edu.au

*Please note: Teacher Aides (TAs OO2 Paypoint 4) - Only these TAs are eligible for the Department of Education Program.
