A Sharper Journey: TAFE at School and Fee-Free TAFE
As parents, you play a crucial role in shaping your children’s futures. Encouraging them to explore career options early on can set them on a path toward success. In Brisbane, two valuable avenues for high school students are TAFE at School and Fee-Free TAFE.

TAFE at School
What Is It? TAFE at School allows high school students to undertake vocational education and training while still in secondary school.
Benefits:
Dual Qualification:
Completing a TAFE at School course allows students the ability to earn both their Queensland Certificate of
Education (QCE) and a nationally recognised vocational qualification.
University Pathways: TAFE at School can fast-track their journey to university by contributing to their Australian Tertiary
Admission Rank (ATAR).

Fee-Free TAFE
What Is It? Once your teen leaves school, Fee-Free TAFE offers eligible students the chance to pursue qualifications in priority industries without any tuition fees.
Benefits:
Cost Savings: Imagine completing a certificate or diploma without the fees*. Then, having a guaranteed spot^ to enter a degree
program in the second year.
Speedy Completion: Programs often take less time than a bachelor’s degree.

TAFE Queensland has been empowering students for over 140 years, equipping them with practical skills for lifelong careers. So, let’s encourage our teens to explore these opportunities. Whether they choose a vocational path or aim for higher education, we can be their path to greatness. (*Eligibility criteria apply, ^See our University Pathways for more information.)
