I started studying science at university but there was really too much theory and not enough practical work.

At TAFE SWSi I found a more hands-on course which provided the right balance between theory and practice.

You can go to TAFE SWSi while youre still at school, go straight from school to TAFE SWSi or from TAFE SWSi to higher education.

Choose the right pathway

Combining your school study with vocational study at TAFE SWSi With TAFE-delivered Vocational Education and Training (TVET) you can undertake a vocational course at TAFE SWSi as part of your HSC and get a head start in a vocation or trade.

For more information, visit www.SWSi.edu.au/tvet or ask for a copy of the TVET guide at a TAFE SWSi Customer Service Centre.

Why choose TVET? TVET can give you:

an academic transcript that counts towards any TAFE study you want to do after school or a full certificate upon successful completion of your course

TAFE study that counts towards your HSC results and in some cases, towards your ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank)

a statement of attainment, a certificate I or II or, in some areas (such as health, financial services and aged care), a certificate III

a head start on post-school study and employment

hands-on training.

Whats so good about studying a TVET course?

TVET is free if you attend a government high school, so you can complete your entry-level vocational training free of charge! If you attend a non-government high school, you may

be eligible for a subsidised place (ask your school for more information)

all your equipment, materials, protective clothing and texts are provided free by TAFE SWSi

you can try out different vocational areas to help you decide what youd like to do after school

youll be trained in an adult environment by highly skilled, industry-specialist teachers who are dedicated to helping you get into an exciting career

you get hands-on experience in well-equipped workshops and facilities that meet industry training standards and are used by trade students

you can study things that your school doesnt teach, at a place that isnt school!

Did you know you can start an apprenticeship or traineeship while youre still at school? You can apply in Year 10 or early in Year 11 for a School-Based Apprenticeship (SBA) or a School- Based Traineeship (SBT).

This allows you to work part-time and study industry skills at TAFE SWSi while you study for your HSC.

The SBA is equivalent to the first year of a full-time apprenticeship, and you will continue full-time as a second year apprentice after you leave school.

Both the SBA and SBT give you a certificate of proficiency in your chosen field, which counts towards further study and employment. For more information, call us on 13 SWSi or visit www.SWSi.edu.au/tvet

If you dont have an ATAR, our courses, including HSC studies and the TAFE Tertiary Preparation Certificate, provide a means of entry into university or higher education. HSC studies allow you to fast-track your HSC and gain an ATAR while the Tertiary Preparation Certificate provides you with a tertiary entrance score which can be converted to an ATAR.

TAFE SWSi offers courses that provide a pathway into degrees with a range of universities.

This means that once completed, some selected TAFE courses can be credited towards higher education study, so you may be able to reduce the time it takes to complete a degree.

For information on all articulation arrangements visit www.tafensw.edu.au/career/pathways/tafe_to_university.htm or contact 13 SWSi (13 7974).

The Diploma of Building Design gave me a great perspective and understanding of the industry.

What is a traineeship? A traineeship combines work and training in a formal training contract between a trainee and an employer and is a nationally recognised qualification.

Combine work and study in a way that works for you Apprenticeships and traineeships are a great way to gain industry training while completing your qualification.

What is an apprenticeship? An apprenticeship is a combination of work and structured training that leads to a nationally recognised trade qualification. Apprenticeships generally last for four years and cover a range of areas such as automotive, commercial cookery, plumbing and hairdressing.

Pre-apprenticeship courses If you are unable to secure an apprenticeship, a great alternative is one of our introductory courses aimed at getting you into the area you want.

They also give you the opportunity to experience an area of study and decide if its right for you.

skills you need, such as: Food Safety, Work, Health and Safety, First Aid or Construction, Safety White or Blue cards

using your TAFE SWSi qualifications to apply for advanced standing and credit towards a diploma or degree

choosing alternative pathways into a job, such as the one year, non-trade, fast-track hairdressing course.

Attendance and WorkloadWhen you are thinking about a TAFE SWSi course, its important to know how long you will spend in the classroom and how much study you will be expected to do at home.

Full-timeIf you study full-time, you will study at least two units per semester and will be in the classroom for at least 18 hours a week. The actual number of hours and days per week you need to attend will depend on the units you take each semester. You will receive a personal timetable when you enrol.

the classroom.

Part-timeIf you study part-time you will be taking at least one unit of competency and will be in the classroom for two to three hours per week, per unit. Part-time courses may be available during the day or in the evening, so you can study around part-time and even full-time work.

Flexible/blended

If you study a flexible or blended course you will sometimes be in the classroom and sometimes learn through online, distance (correspondence) or workplace learning. How much of the course is delivered in the classroom varies from course to course.

Language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) are essential skills that allow you to engage in training and be productive and successful in your work and study.

At TAFE SWSi we provide a service through the RUReady program to assess your skills in these areas.

A computer based tool is used to provide a snapshot of your skills level at a point in time. The information from this tool can assist you to choose an appropriate course and help identify if you may require some support while you study. The program also includes activities to help improve your skills. Our aim is to ensure you successfully complete your course and are job-ready.
