TAFE South Australia

TAFE South Australia (TAFE SA) provides vocational education and training in South Australia. The acronym TAFE stands for Technical and Further Education and is used and recognised nationally throughout Australia. TAFE SA is a Registered training organisation (RTO) under the jurisdiction of the Australian Skil

ls Quality Authority (ASQA).

TAFE SA is an independent statutory corporation of the Government of South Australia and one of Australia's providers of Vocational Education and Training (VET).

TAFE SA delivers training to around 70,000 students each year, about the same number of students as all of South Australia's public universities combined. TAFE SA delivers 1,300 qualifications ranging from certificates through to advanced diplomas and bachelor's degrees. It also delivers skill sets and customized short courses.

On 1 November 2012, TAFE SA became a statutory corporation separate from the Department of Further Education, Employment, Science and Technology. At this point, TAFE SA decided to merge the three districts (institutes) into one to provide more streamlined services and a more consistent experience for students.

• TAFE SA is the largest provider of vocational education and training in South Australia delivering more than 1000 courses to an average of 80,000 students per year
• It plays a major role in the development of South Australia’s future workforce with 88% of students employed or in further study after graduating
• It's truly a global and international institution with more than 1500 students coming from outside Australia
