Boomerang Australia Studies - Vocational training

DESCRIPTION

Vocational Training awards are called Certificates, Diplomas and Advanced Diplomas and are taught in TAFEs (Public Business Schools), Universities and Private Business Colleges.

Any student who has successfully completed Senior High School (Year 12) can be admitted in Diplomas or Advanced Diplomas. If not, you can only be admitted at Certificate level first and then go on further onto Diplomas.

Teaching amounts to 20 hours per week maximum, is based on practical learning and specialises you in a selected career so that you are totally operational after 1 to 2 years of training.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW

- The Diplomas offered by Universities allow you to be admitted in the 2nd year of most Bachelor Degrees.

- The TAFEs are public schools but their training costs are often more expensive than Business Colleges ; however, TAFEs offer a wide range of specialisations which are not necessarily all open to international students. Contact us for more details

OUR ADVICE

- Vocational training is not only useful to students who have just terminated their high school leaving certificates but also for University or technical graduates who need some complement training (such as an Engineer who needs some managment skills or a Doctor some massage skills….) or whose English level is not high enough to enter university, or whose budget is limited ;

- If your level of English is upper intermediate or advanced and you want to spend one year in Australia, we advise you to apply for a 1 year vocational course in the specialization that you like: it would permit you to improve your english, obtain the professional vocabulary you need and be awarded with an internationally recognized qualification !!

- If your level of English is intermediate, consider a package programme including 10 wks of English and a 6 month or more vocational training of your choice. Contact us for more details.
