Application steps

When you submit your application, it will be reviewed by our team to make sure you meet the program's eligibility requirements. We'll email you once the review has been completed.

If you meet the program’s eligibility requirements, we’ll invite you to sit a core skills assessment. This will help us make sure you have the reading and numeracy skills to succeed.

We’ll contact you with information about the assessment.

If you pass the core skills assessment, we’ll invite you and your parent or carer to an interview.

We'll discuss the unique technical college model, industry training programs and expectations. This is a great opportunity for you to demonstrate your commitment and passion for careers in the industry and ask any questions you may have.

We’ll request that you provide a referee statement to support your application.

We’ll contact you to let you know if your application is successful and how to enrol.

Offers for enrolment will be based on students:

  • meeting the core skills requirements and any prerequisites
  • demonstrating their commitment at an interview
  • providing a reference to support the application
  • acceptance by the registered training organisation.

Please note, enrolment is not guaranteed as places are limited.

Stay in touch.  If you're not ready to apply yet, keep up-to-date with important dates, events and information.
