3 September TAFE Applications Open for 2027

Applications for Semester 1, 2027 TAFE courses open on 3 September. 

North Metro TAFE has these handy application tips on its website:

• Apply early You may need to gather additional information for your application, so give yourself plenty of time to present yourself at your best

   

• Save the date Make a note of the key dates for TAFE Admissions, and save a reminder on your calendar.

   

• Have a “Plan B” In case you don’t get a place in your first choice of course, consider similar courses at different campuses or lower-level certificates. Enter more than one preference in your application so you have a backup if your first choice isn’t available. You can enter up to four preferences, so make the most of them.

   

• List all your education history Include all qualifications and courses you have done, even short courses. Don’t worry if these aren’t relevant to the course you’re applying for – include everything.

   

• List all your work experience Include all voluntary, paid, unpaid and community work. You might also need to provide evidence such as payslips, group certificates and references, so gather this early. Don’t worry if the work isn’t relevant to the course you’re applying for, your experience shows transferable skills that are considered as part of your application.

   

• Make sure your contact details are correct We will primarily use your email address to contact you, so make sure it’s accurate and checked regularly.

   

• Don’t leave anything blank Make sure you fill out all the fields on the application and check before you submit.

   

• Read up about your preferred course to make sure it’s right for you Find out about the course on our website, read the Important Information tab (if it has one) and check if there are any specific entry requirements. Some courses have specific requirements such as pre-requisite units or qualifications, submission of a folio or participation in an audition. To learn more about literacy and numeracy requirements for competitive and non-competitive courses, see the TAFE Admissions Guide (opens in a new tab)  .

If you have further questions or need assistance or advice on careers, employment, traineeships and apprenticeships, you can also visit your local Jobs and Skills Centre for help.
