Is TAFE NSW a good fit for you?
TAFE NSW is usually the first place to look if you live in New South Wales and want a trade, a job in care or another practical qualification. It has campuses in Sydney and in most regional centres, and some courses can be studied online.
Many courses are subsidised for eligible students, so the price you pay can be much lower than the full fee. Not every course runs at every campus, so check the campus list for each course to see what's taught near you.

Open the course finderCommon questions about TAFE NSW
Is TAFE NSW a good place to study?

Yes, for some courses. 51 of the 219 courses we list can be studied online, including the Certificate I in Maritime Operations (General Purpose Hand Near Coastal), Certificate II in Animal Care and Certificate II in Automotive Body Repair Technology.
