Entry

The Work Pathways program is for school leavers and adults who have an intellectual disability or cognitive impairment.

We may ask you to confirm that you have an intellectual disability or cognitive impairment when you enrol. If you had learning support while at school or college, were enrolled in a support school or have been assessed by a doctor or psychologist this can be used as confirmation.

If you are not sure about what evidence to provide contact us on 1300 655 307 and ask to speak to Suzie Flood, or email us at vocational.preparation@tafe.tas.edu.au

Fees, payments and other costs

Your tuition fees cover the basic materials needed for your course, but may not cover items such as text books, workbooks, uniform, online learning resources or personal protective clothing. Depending on your course, there may also be other expenses that you need to budget for.

For courses undertaken in 12 months or less, you will be invoiced the full course fee (including any other essential fees associated with your course).

*For courses studied over multiple years, your course and other fees will be split over the years of study, with the concession fee being charged on a yearly basis. At the time of enrolment you will be invoiced for the first year’s fees. An invoice will be raised in each subsequent year around the same time as your ‘enrolment anniversary’.

Recognition of prior learning and skills

It makes sense that you should be recognised for the things you already know how to do.

TasTAFE can assess your skills and knowledge based on your previous education, work history or life experience – which may help you to gain your qualification a whole lot faster!

More information on the recognition process is available on our recognition of prior learning and skills page.

Assessments are designed to help you demonstrate the skills and knowledge you learn in your course and are an essential part of your training.

While studying at TasTAFE, you may be assessed in a number of different ways. Some common assessment methods include:

completing workplace documents
observations on the job and/or in a simulated assessment environment
quizzes/multiple choice tests
research projects
tests – written or practical
verbal questioning
work samples
written assignments or short answers.
