Student review
I have mixed opinions about studying at TAFE. Some of the teachers are really passionate and are constantly striving to make their lessons engaging, current, practical, and accessible to all. However, there are other teachers that don’t appear to make much of an effort to cater to a broad range of learners, very old fashioned “I talk you listen”, or just blatantly offensive when you can’t follow along. TAFE as a whole needs to get way further along the line with technology. Most teachers barely use it to offer educational support, materials are uploaded too late, incorrectly, or not at all. And as for practical experience… whilst I learnt so so much in theory at TAFE, I really felt like I walked out with skills barely worth hiring. Overall, they have a long way to go before they are offering thorough education, yet they are the most widely recognised educational body for practical skills. It’s a very disjointed system.

Student review
I was disappointed with my experience at TAFE. I expected it to be far more practical and provide far more job preparedness training. The content was interesting but it felt so disconnected from the real world applications in a job setting. Moreover, the lack of flexibility and inclusivity by the teachers was astounding. It felt very old fashioned and not at all adept at catering towards the diversity of students. All digital aspects were an after thought. As someone with autism, I found it a particularly difficult learning environment compared to university.

Teachers and facility were great for a first timer in the industry. The content is relevant and the teachers have great practical knowledge. The Tafe administration is unfortunately a joke and dealing with scheduling, payments or any changes is a nightmare.
