When & how do I attend?

How often do you attend TAFE?

Most TVET courses are offered one afternoon per week for a 4 hour class. Some courses include a block session, ie a full day or series of days. This allows students the opportunity to make full use of workshops and to ensure that course content is thoroughly covered. You would be notified if your course included a block component.

You are expected to attend every TVET class. Punctuality and attendance at TAFE should be given the highest priority. TAFE is required to inform the school of your attendance pattern.

What happens if you miss class?

The Board of Studies does not determine attendance requirements but expects that students miss no more than 2 classes during the course. If you miss classes the teacher may determine that, as a result of absence, you have not met the course completion criteria.

What do you do if your personal details change?

If you wish to change or correct your personal details you must complete a form available from Campus Administration. This form can be used to modify personal details including name, address, date of birth, etc. It is essential you notify the Campus of changed details. If the Institute does not have your correct contact details you may not be able to receive your TAFE testamur.

Equipment and Books

You need to provide your own writing materials. TAFE provides all equipment, materials, protective clothing, module notes and texts for TVET students.

Homework Requirements

You should expect to be given homework. The amount of work to be completed outside the classroom varies across courses. When you are not given set homework, make sure you read over your class notes before you attend the next class. Progressive reading and revision of previously learned material will enhance your course outcomes.
