Preparing For A TAFE Course
Bobby Castro is the online editor at the Australia Forum, where he has published a number of articles about education in Australia and many other topics.
A TAFE course is a vocationally oriented course of education that prepares the individual student for eventual employment in companies and other industrial settings. While this course provides for the most direct path towards employment, some schools provide TAFE courses that can be options for eventual University education and be counted as previous education to be credited as courses within a particular degree course.
Like any educational course, TAFE courses have expenses. These are tuition fees that cost depending on the type of course being undertaken. Aside from the tuition fees, there is a need for health insurance, application fee, and student visa if the student is not an Australian citizen or immigrant, costs of accommodation and other incidental costs for educational purposes.
Before an international student is allowed to enroll in a TAFE course, there are specific minimum requirements that need to be obtained. These include minimum English requirements such as IELTS 5.5 Academic course. This would ensure the individual has the capacity to understand and share while undergoing training in the TAFE course enrolled in.
Because f the high cost involved in studying in Australia, there is a provision in the student visa for immigrant students that allows an foreign student to work up to twenty hours a week. This would be pivotal for TAFE courses, as many companies eventually absorb the TAFE students that either intern or work within their companies after completion of their studies. In other instances, the TAFE student obtains credit using the work hours, allowing for a sense of accomplishment by receiving a paycheck while learning on the job.
When entering Australia using a student visa, there are specific provisions that need to be complied with to avoid the risk of cancellation of the student visa and be considered as deportable from the country. The first requirement is that the student must have credit hours totaling twenty hours a week. The student must attend at least 80 percent of all classes. Failure to comply with these requisites would mean both legal and financial penalties upon the student visa holder.
As can be seen, obtaining a student visa to Australia for a TAFE course takes both time and money. After the application has been filed and a review made, it is important that the specific requirements of the visa must be complied with to be able to remain in the country. Failure to comply with such requirements can mean loss of future employment and opportunities in Australia’s burgeoning economy.
