Left school but not mature aged
If you've left school but aren't considered mature age, you can still get started on your learning pathway. There are courses which lead into in the course of your choice and which help you meet the minimum entrance requirements.
Contact the Career Centre on 13 23 98 or an information officer at your nearest TAFEWA college.
For further information on completing a TAFEWA access qualification (like the Certificate of General Education for Adults) or on getting back into secondary studies, perhaps at a senior campus, it is recommended that you speak with staff at the Career Centre on 13 23 98 or a TAFEWA college information officer.
Mature age study options
The traditional employment system is changing rapidly. It is important to continually upgrade your skills to be successful in gaining and remaining in employment. With more than 50 locations across the state, flexible study options and a wide range of qualifications, TAFEWA is ideally suited for adult study. Do you want a starter qualification to get you back into a ‘studying’ frame of mind?
Before you start studying, you need to have some idea of your goals. Looking for a starter qualification to get you back into a ‘studying’ frame of mind? Do you have a particular job or occupation in mind and, if so, what skills and knowledge will you need?
You also need to consider how much time you can allocate to your study and how study will best fit your lifestyle.
There are many ways you can get information to ensure you make the right choice. The Career Centre can be a great place to start.
You can also discuss your options with information officers at your nearest TAFEWA college.
Employment Direction Network centres, located across the state, offer career advice for people of all ages.
