Subsidised Training - Testimonial
Gabby's ATAR dream came true with TAFE NSW
“There are only eight people in my class and the teachers are just amazing. They’re like mentors and very one-on-one with their teaching. You’re treated like an adult and you’re in charge of your own learning.”
— Gabby Andrews studied a Certificate IV in Tertiary Preparation, and will now graduate with the equivalent of an ATAR and her Year 12 qualification in one year instead of two.

Course fee exemptions for the entitlement foundation skills program

This means that from 1 July 2018, eligible students commencing a foundation skills full qualification or course delivered by TAFE NSW under the EFS program, will not be required to pay a fee. The subsidy paid to TAFE NSW will cover the cost of the qualification or course, i.e. the Smart and Skilled qualification price.
Funded by the NSW Government, Smart and Skilled is a reform of the NSW Vocational Education and Training (VET) system. The program aims to help people throughout NSW to get the skills they need to find a job and advance their careers.
