2026 External Vocational Education and Training Courses (VET)

VET Information

 A range of courses are now open for application, and you will find course information and the application process via the links below.

Please read the application guide carefully when applying for courses at North or South Metro TAFE, as there are several documents that you need to have ready to upload at the time of completing the online application.

Completing the online application process in one sitting makes for a smoother application process.

NORTH METRO TAFE and SOUTH METRO TAFE

These courses do not attract a course fee; however, several of the courses do have an incidental fee for materials and consumables.

  • Most courses are for one day per week over two years.  This is a big commitment, and a student needs to have a genuine interest in the course that they apply for.
  • If a student applies and is offered a place in a course, the student will then withdraw from one of the six MSC courses that they have selected, so that this VET course becomes part of their College program.
  • When applying please consider the location of the campus at which the course is offered.
  • These courses are offered to all schools in the Perth metro area and have limited places, hence competition is high to gain an offer of placement.
  • TAFE will predominately select students based on their Year 10 Semester 1 Report and the student statement that is completed during the online application process.

 

APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN

Closing date North Metro TAFE: Sunday, 31st August
Closing date South Metro TAFE: Friday, 29th August
