About

Admissions

Applying & Enrolling

Part 1:

• Search the TAFE NSW Handbook to see if your course has any specific prerequisites.

Part 2:

• Contact the campuses which you'd prefer to study your course at to see if they still will run your course. There is nothing worse than assuming you can go to a campus for your course and make all the arrangements and then have it all fall through at the last minute because you didn't check.

Part 3:

• Check if your course requires an application, and what the deadline for the application is. For a list of courses requiring an application, click here. If your course doesn't require an application, then go on to Part 4. For those of who do, keep reading. Fill out your application, filling in all the required parts and then send it to the campus which is your first preference before the closing date.
