Ways to study

Take advantage of more than 50 locations across the state and study at a TAFE Queensland campus. Our purpose-built facilities include workshops with industry-standard equipment, fully functioning health clinics and labs, digital studios, beauty salons, gyms, and commercial kitchens and restaurants.

Studying with TAFE Queensland Online gives you access to TAFE Queensland's huge range of resources and the freedom to study anywhere, any time. You can study a range of our nationally-recognised qualifications online, from short courses and entry-level certificates through to high-level diplomas.

If you’re a Year 11 or 12 student you can complete a TAFE Queensland qualification while you're still at school. You'll get a head start on your career or tertiary study by choosing from a variety of certificate I to certificate III courses, while still completing your Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE). 

Apprenticeships and traineeships combine hands-on learning with theoretical study and give you the opportunity to earn while you learn. As a trainee or apprentice you will complete paid work in your industry as part of your studies, applying everything you learn in class to a practical environment straight away.

If you've completed prior study or have significant work experience, applying for credit transfers or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) can reduce study time and costs. We can assess your skills and directly apply credits from previous successful study to give you advanced standing in your course.

As well as our wide range of formal courses, we also offer a number of short courses across an exciting range of study areas. Our short courses are developed to be responsive to local demands and changing industry needs and include professional development courses, hobby courses, and workplace licences and skill sets.
