Beyond School 16+

Once you leave school you have a range of options available to you. You can undertake further study - there’s a range of ways to obtain qualifications and undertake training in Victoria and there are thousands of courses to choose from. The Victorian Government is changing the TAFE and training system to help people get the skills they need for the jobs they want. There are more approved training providers offering government subsidised places with a wider choice of courses. 

As well as undertaking further study there are other options available. These include:
