As announced by the NSW Premier -

We know the next six months are going to be difficult and what we have done today is announce that through Tafe there are 21 free courses you can do from home to upgrade your skills or to acquire new skills and this is good news.

It means people can start preparing for when these difficult times are over and through Tafe NSW if you pop on to their website you can actually acquire how you can do one of these courses from home and get qualified over a short period of time rather than just if you haven’t got a job or not working from home it is an opportunity for you to upgrade your skills or acquire new skills so you can enter or re-enter the workforce when you finish this difficult time.

      Which have been for a while and is almost a duplicate for the just released Covid ones above…thanks so much NSW govt! And yet Victorians can get a whole Diploma of Nursing for free*.

      • stickymoo on 06/04/2020 - 09:15

        Different courses in the link provided. Not the same. Not free unless eligible either so it's worth noting that there are more courses available

      • LuffyTuffyFluffy on 06/04/2020 - 09:38
        +6

        Most, if not all of these courses are really basic. If the gov really want people to upskill, and perhaps have increased opportunities to get a job, they should release Cert IV or higher courses.

    Does signing up grant you a @tafensw.edu.au ? if so then thats a bargain itself 🤔🤔

        It's worked for every discount I've ever tried.

      • juddy90 on 06/04/2020 - 13:17

    • pegasusx on 06/04/2020 - 09:34

      While I understand the urge for a bargain. Just signing up for the edu email enmase, ruins the good intention. Good thing they are giving only .net.au emails out.

      • [Deactivated] on 06/04/2020 - 15:22

        it also gives the much under-funded TAFE colleagues funding for each registrant.
        Of course it's not like the NSW govt waste money, like say $830m on a single footy stadium.

        apparently the email address is pretty much as good as a edu.au email

  • peterpeterpumpkin on 06/04/2020 - 09:45

    Has anyone ever done one of these Statements of Attainment and afterwards pursued a full diploma/cert, or found the information useful to life or scoring a job?

    I've finished a cert before and the early parts felt like going back to primary school but with adult-oriented topics.

    • FutureTech on 06/04/2020 - 09:47

      studied a couple of free tax "statement of attainment"s - recognised by the TPB so helped me got my tax agent registration

      • peterpeterpumpkin on 06/04/2020 - 10:01

        Thanks. What would have been the alternative learning route with the TPB? Did you still have to study another 90% somewhere else at cost?

        • FutureTech on 06/04/2020 - 10:05

          Yes but the rest is the more fundamental stuff so you should have studied it in the uni if you were planning for a tax career. TAFE took care of the two units that were the more advanced ones required by the TPB so that's pretty good (cheapest alternative I could find was $600 per unit at some training institution)

      Contacted Tafe on the chat and they told me you should receive an email in a few days and it's a "known issue". Extremely frustrating because I don't know if I'm enrolled or not. If someone gives them a call please update.
      Thanks!

          I waited in the queue as 144th person, waited for an hour, I chatted with the online support, they said they can't activate acccount through the Chat, and asked me to call.
          I called again, no one answer.
          I still kept the Chat window, I told them on one answer, they said they will log an enquiry and there will be someone contact me shortly.
          And… I actually logged an enquiry already yesterday and no one contact me until now.

      The first activation process right after you applied for a course, is a fake one. meaning you won't receive any codes.

      Only until you receive an email saying you're enrolled, they'll resend you a link to activate your account. From there you should receive a code to activate.

      Statement of Attainment is like a gold star from your teacher in kindy.

      They are usually a very small part of a bigger certificate. If you want to polish up, or learn a little of something new then these are good. On their own you wont land a job that needs the full certificate, but its more than nothing and could help you out a little.
