TAFE (Technical and Further Education) institutions provide a range of vocational tertiary education courses in Australia. The courses are designed for:-

Courses offered at TAFE provide students with practical skills that are transferable to the workplace.

There are currently six levels of courses offered by TAFE from Certificate I - IV in a wide range of trade and non trade areas in addition to Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses. A small number of TAFE institutes also offer higher education courses such as Bachelor degrees, Graduate Certificates and Graduated Diplomas in selected fields of study.
