VET qualifications that are nationally recognised, internationally well regarded and designed to get you ready for employment.
If you want to study at university, many of the Tasmanian Polytechnic’s qualifications provide pathways with advanced credit towards Bachelor degrees. We provide English language programs and ongoing support to help ensure your success.
International students are capped at low numbers, only 500 places across 30 courses, so you will have the best opportunity to interact with local students and improve your English.
What do we offer?
VET courses at the Certificate III, Certificate IV, Diploma and Advanced Diploma levels
Courses in Art & Design, Business, Community Services, Engineering, Hospitality & Tourism, Information Technology, and Nature & Science.
ELICOS combined with VET studies
The Tasmanian Polytechnic’s courses are designed to prepare students for a career, or for those in the workforce who want to improve their skills. As a government institution servicing the local community, its students must graduate ready for work. This means international students will benefit from practical learning delivered by teachers with current industry experience.
The Tasmanian Polytechnic also delivers courses internationally, exporting its qualifications through partnerships with:
The Australian College in Kuwait (ACK),
Bangde Vocational Technical College in Shanghai, China.
If you are looking for a quality education in a small, caring environment, and an alternative to the big expensive cities of Sydney and Melbourne, choose the Tasmanian Polytechnic.
