Mid-year intake for selected TAFE-at-school courses (Year 11)
Sunshine Coast TAFE is offering a mid-year intake for the following courses:
- Certificate II in Animal Care (at Nambour TAFE campus, on Tuesdays)
- Certificate II in Applied Fashion Design Technology (at Mooloolaba TAFE campus on Tuesdays)
- Certificate II in Salon Assistant (at Mooloolaba TAFE campus on Mondays)
All courses are VETiS funded, which means they are fee-free for students who are not doing any other VET courses during Years 11-12. A fee applies for students who are doing other Certificate II courses. Students who wish to enroll in these courses would need to drop one of their elective subjects to accommodate the course. Students would also need to ensure they can afford to miss the specified day of school each week for the next 12 months. If you are interested in any of these courses, please make an appointment to see me as soon as possible.
