The Victorian Training Guarantee is making TAFE training more accessible to people who do not have a post-school qualification or who want to gain a higher level qualification than they already have. For every eligible person seeking to undertake accredited training at South West TAFE, the Victorian Training Guarantee will provide funding to support that training.

Eligibility for access to a Victorian Training Guarantee government supported place will depend on certain factors such as citizenship, age and prior educational history. Please speak with your Course Coordinator or the Customer Service Centre to determine your eligibility.

Foundation Level courses assist people to develop the skills they need in literacy, numeracy, language, self management and job-readiness.

Skills creation courses are for people who wish to undertake basic training in an industry area, either because they need to use the relevant skills immediately in the workplace, or because they wish to prepare for entry to work in that industry.

Skills building courses are for people who want to enter a skilled trade or practice an occupation that calls for skills and knowledge beyond the basic level. Qualifications at this level require significant commitment by learners and may provide entry to licensed or otherwise regulated skilled occupations.

Skills deepening courses are for people who are progressing to a higher level within an industry area in which they already have employment or who wish to enter employment at the more skilled, specialised or paraprofessional level.

Refer to the Course Information brochure for the category your course belongs to.
