Benefits of starting mid year
With mid-year intakes for selected TAFE at School courses you'll have a chance to settle into the school year before you commit to new opportunities.
By choosing to start your first course in Year 10 in Semester 2, you can often complete two courses before you even finish high school, giving you a head start on your future career.
You can get credits for your first successfully completed qualification towards a relevant second course. This often means less study at a lower cost for your second qualification.
With a mid-year intake, you’ll finish your TAFE at School studies six months before the end of Year 12. This will free you up to concentrate on your remaining high school studies so you can nail your final assignments and exams.
With a TAFE at School qualification you’ll be ready to hit the ground running after school and find a job to earn money, support a gap year or university studies, and kick start your career.
After successfully completing a TAFE at School course/s you may be eligible for direct entry into any related TAFE Queensland diploma, which can then guarantee you a place in a bachelor degree with one of our partner universities.
