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.

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 as a Skills Assure supplier to deliver training and assessment services subsided by the Department of Education, Small Business and Training. 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 2022 TAFE at School Course Guide.

For more information on VETiS funding, check out;

• VETiS information for school students and parents
• VETiS Frequently Asked Questions
• Priority Skills List

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

Students can continue their studies with TAFE Queensland upon completion of Year 12.

TAFE Queensland has a variety of courses available to your international students from entry level certificates through to diplomas, advanced diplomas, and a bachelor degree.

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

Why aren’t prices printed in the 2022 guide?

Prices are subject to change at any time and without notice, to ensure the longevity and accuracy of the information in this course guide TAFE Queensland has elected to not include prices. For accurate and up to date prices, please search for the course on tafeqld.edu.au.

Does a student need to include their USI when making an application?

A student must include their USI and their LUI in their pathway application.

Will new students be required to attend an orientation session?

Last year Brisbane Region started hosting TAFE at School orientation sessions for students and they have been very successful.

We received positive feedback that most students enjoyed meeting their teachers, learning about what they will be doing before classes officially start and helped to alleviate any anxiety they were feeling. Parents are always welcome at the orientation sessions, though it’s not compulsory for them to attend. Brisbane Region will continue to plan for orientation sessions for future new students.

Who receives an enrolment offer?

Enrolment offers are sent to the parent/guardian nominated at the application stage.
