South West TAFE is the largest provider of

offered by them are endorsed and audited by the
Australian Commonwealth and State Governments. TAFE courses are developed in conjunction
with industry and professional bodies to ensure

South West TAFE has five main campuses spread across south-west Victoria in Glenormiston, Hamilton, Portland, Warrnambool and Warrnambool east (Sherwood Park). The majority of courses for international students are offered from the Warrnambool Campus.
Warrnambool is situated 265 kilometres south-west of Melbourne on the world-renowned Shipwreck Coast and at the end of the Great Ocean Road. Warrnambool has a population of 31,500 and offers the advantages of city living in a peaceful, safer, cleaner and friendlier environment.
Local authorities are working with South West TAFE and other local schools and universities to enhance and promote opportunities for international students to study in this region of Australia. All parties recognise the benefits international students bring to the community in friendship and cultural understanding, and celebrate this annually with an official welcome function.
