We recognise that our students undertake study for many different reasons; some of which are:

• starting out on a career, or
• seeking to gain formal recognition for skills already held, or
• seeking to improve job prospects, or
• looking to change careers, or
• just learning to improve knowledge and skills, as a personal interest.

Whatever your reason, we are here to support you to achieve your personal and professional goals, through the wonderful journey of learning.

Career choices

We offer a comprehensive range of study options across a diverse range of industries, and we focus on supporting students with achieving positive employment outcomes. Our qualifications are nationally recognised and include practical ‘job ready skills’ that meet business and industry standards.

East Gippsland TAFE also offers many students an affordable and supportive pathway to further education. We have strong relationships with a number of Universities and other training providers (including RMIT, Monash, Gippsland Group Training, Central Gippsland Institute of TAFE, and Canberra Institute of Technology) and we offer RMIT University programs such as the Bachelor of Nursing and the Bachelor of Commerce at our TAFE campuses.

In 2008, we are also proud to announce that we are expanding our courses to include hairdressing, in partnership with the leading international hairdressing training provider—Pivot Point Hairdressing Academy.

This course will support the local hairdressing industry as apprentices will no longer need to travel out of the region for training. Hairdressing will also be available for students at high school through the VET in Schools program.

On behalf of our team of dedicated teachers, support staff and Board members, I invite you to join the many students who have gained valuable knowledge, skills and qualifications through East Gippsland TAFE – in a region of Australia famous for its natural beauty and warm hospitality.
