Qualifications certify what a person has achieved through study, training, work and life experience. Because Australian qualifications are nationally recognised, they are portable. Employers and training organisations throughout Australia understand what a particular qualification means, what you have learnt and what your skills are.

TAFE NSW is the largest provider of post-secondary education and training in the southern hemisphere. You receive nationally recognised training at a significantly lower cost than many other tertiary institutions.

At TAFE NSW Western Sydney Institute, we offer you a range of options - from single day programs to comprehensive three-year qualifications. Flexibility is the key. Depending on your choice of study, your qualification can be completed by attendance at classes in Colleges or community venues, workplace delivery and assessment, online and flexible learning, recognition of prior learning and credit transfer from previous study.

We offer qualifications ranging from Advanced Diploma to Certificate 1, as well as Statements of Attainment and TAFE NSW accredited statements. You can also undertake a tailored TAFE PLUS program designed to quickly gain job-specific skills. For more information about TAFE NSW qualifications and the Australian Qualifications Framework go to the TAFE NSW website.

With seven Colleges covering the Western Sydney region as well as the Open Training and Education Network (OTEN) and the Building Industry Skills Centre (BISC), you can study close to home or you can even complete your qualification overseas! It’s your choice!
