Some courses have additional requirements. All courses have a requirement for you to participate in a pre-enrolment information session. You may also need to sit for a test, attend an interview or audition or submit a portfolio. Undertake a course search, visit your local Campus or call Course Information on 131 601.

You should also check what you may be required to bring to the pre-enrolment information session.

Step 2: Apply/register your interest (if required)

Some TAFE NSW courses require you to apply/register your interest online from 4:00pm on Tuesday 15 May. You may then be required to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI), portfolio, attend a pre-testing session or show evidence of a previous qualification. This will ensure that you meet the course entry requirements. Following this process you will be notified of the outcome of your registration and how to finalise your enrolment.
