Applications now open for TAFE At School courses 2022

Year 10 and 11 students can now lodge their applications for TAFE At School courses for next year. Students are advised to get their applications in as early as possible, as some courses fill quickly. You can research available courses by downloading a copy of the TAFE At School Guide here https://tafeqld.edu.au/

Students should advise Mrs Wanda Hayes of their intention to enrol in a TAFE course for next year, at the same time as they submit their application to TAFE. To apply:

1) Visit www.tafeapply.com
2) Enter code TQEC2201 to access application form
3) Fill in the application form (students will need their Unique Student Identifier – USI – to submit their application)
Students should ensure they use their correct legal name as per their ID documents, as USI and application details must match. If a student doesn’t already have a USI, they can create one here: https://www.usi.gov.au
4) Once submitted an email request will be automatically sent to the student's parent/guardian for approval -

students should discuss this with their parent/guardian, as this is a mandatory requirement.

Students and Parents should be aware that many TAFE courses incur additional fees; and most require a student to attend classes at a TAFE campus one day per week, so students will miss a day of school each week. If you have any questions or concerns about including a TAFE course in your senior program of study, please make an appointment to speak about this with Mrs Wanda Hayes.
