Common Questions
To apply, you need to gather required documents (certified passport copy, academic transcripts, English language test results), complete the TAFE NSW international student application form, and submit it either online via the student portal or by emailing it to the international admissions team at intadmissions@tafensw.edu.au. If you need to provide financial capacity evidence or are applying for a university pathway, you must apply through a TAFE NSW education agent.
Each TAFE NSW qualification has a specific English language requirement equivalent to an academic IELTS test score. You can check the equivalent English language entry requirements in the PDF document provided on the TAFE NSW website. If you need to improve your English, TAFE NSW offers the General English Program (CRICOS: 049258C) and English for Academic Purposes (CRICOS: 0101064) to help you meet entry requirements.

Honestly I was lost when I first started looking at Australian colleges. There are just too many options and every agent gives you different info. A friend told me about FindTheCourses and within a week I had shortlisted 3 programs that actually matched my budget and visa situation. My advisor Sanjay was super helpful — never felt like I was being pushed into anything.
