Victoria has the most TAFE courses under Free TAFE scheme compared to other states. I found that the best TAFE school for the courses is Swinburne and Holmesglen since they don't charge the extra Student Service Fees so you can save hundreds of dollar on this fees. Some TAFE do charge extra material fees as well. Victoria even have a few diploma courses under Free TAFE as well.

For tech courses you can consider Swinburne, and you can consider Holmesglen Moorabbin for Cert 3 in Commercial Cookery (Le Cordon Bleu kitchen is also in this campus)

Some of the high value courses are Cert 4 in Cyber Security and Diploma of Nursing (this course is not cheap). Diploma of Nursing in Swinburne is 1.5year instead of 2years in other TAFE schools.

Cert 3 in Commercial Cookery in Holmesglen Moorabbin is also a good course with coffee units, artisan bread unit and even job placement program. You can also study the few extra Patisserie units to complete the Cert 3 in Patisserie as well (this will cost extra but not much since it is only like 6 units).
https://holmesglen.edu.au/Courses/Hospitality-Tourism-and-Ev…

Because of COVID-19, we have another scheme called JobTrainer if you are unemployed (either under JobSeeker or not is not required) so you can take 2 courses if you are unemployed, 1 under JobTrainer and 1 under FreeTafe scheme. Upskill requirements can be exempted for FreeTafe and JobTrainer

The good thing with Swinburne and Holmesglen is they don't add extra or separate fees like Student Service Fee and Material Fee which is not covered under FreeTafe.

If you are in other state, you can consider moving to VIC to take the free TAFE courses since you will have much more courses to study than other states.

Eligibillity

Any Australian citizen or permanent resident or a New Zealand citizen is eligible to do one Free TAFE for priority course in Victoria if they meet the following criteria:

  • under 20 or upskilling
  • aged under 20 (regardless of any other qualifications they might hold)
  • are 20 or older and enrolling in a course that is a higher qualification than the highest qualification previously attained
  • Victorians who need additional support
    Victorians who are:
    • unemployed and clients of the Jobs Victoria Employment Network
    • retrenched workers
    • automotive supply chain workers
    • looking to change careers
    • Victorians who want to reskill, change careers, improve their employment prospects and/or meet the needs of local industries, subject to availability of TAFE places, and prioritised based on need. It is expected that priority will be given to people impacted by the coronavirus, such as women, young people and migrants, and other vulnerable people.

There is another scheme called SkillFirst which will requires you to upskill only, i.e you can only eligible to study higher cert level that you have already completed and there is a limit of 2 per year and a few other requirements.
I have found some provider provide Skill First courses free as well like Construction courses (some excavator training… in the course) and Telecommunication courses (i.e you can work for NBN installer or other cabling technician). You need to plan which course level you want to do first if you want to take up this scheme.

FOR EMPLOYER: For those who are looking for jobs, there is wage subsidy scheme for 10k grant for employer to employ someone who is on Jobseeker for 6+ month. This maybe something that you can bring up to employer or if you can consider if you are employer

    • jaybo on 18/09/2021 - 18:58

      how are you finding it? do you feel like you're learning something valuable or is it all a bit average?

      • samehada on 18/09/2021 - 19:00
        +14

        It is a good course, material covered is quite good. You learn many things about security, Python, Linux, AWS, Splunk, SQL injection, SIEM, Windows Server Active Directory….

      • dosada on 18/09/2021 - 19:36
        +5

        It's not bad but a bit too much for such a short time. They accept basically anyone, even people which have no experience in it and then they struggle

        • samehada on 18/09/2021 - 20:16

          like I said, if you have no background in IT, you really need to put more efforts if you are really keen on moving to IT. But for those who are not really keen, once they go to work they are the one who will create vulnerabilities in the system.

        • M00Cow on 18/09/2021 - 20:58

          Yeah they brush over lot's and worse, its been mostly designed by big enterprise ( very Cisco focused), so it's not for anyone in Small-medium enterprise. The problem is they talk up job prospects, bit in reality, unless you have external certs like CISSP, etc, you're not going to get anywhere with it.

          This course is a bit like ITIL, HR will say you need it to apply for a job (just to cut the numbers down), but fairly irrelevant to the actual job.

          • samehada on 18/09/2021 - 21:48

            @M00Cow: Well, you need to start from somewhere, entry level help desk maybe a good start.

            • M00Cow on 19/09/2021 - 09:14
              +1

              @samehada: Yes absolutely! From the bottom.

              But the course encouraged people with no IT background to do it.
              When I did it, I spend half.my pract time helping people understand what we were doing.

              One of my classmates was a cleaner, no IT background, but was expected to know their way around a linux command line (they couldn't get their head around a non-gui interface.

              Other course content (the filler stuff) was out of date. They were talking about dot matrix printer,.toekn ring networks, etc

              It's like ITIL, it'll look good on your CV, but won't have much practical use, unless you're wanting to get into CISCO kit, then go for it.

              • anawth on 19/09/2021 - 14:44

                @M00Cow: This really depends on your job. I have to live and breathe ITIL to try and keep cowboy engineers (and auditors) at bay.

            @M00Cow: Yup, the thing that got me job offers was already having experience in IT and systems admin.

            Unlikely anyone with no IT experience will be landing an actual cybersecurity role (especially compliance/analysis) with no experience.

            Seems pretty cruel to advertise it like that.

            • samehada on 19/09/2021 - 13:12

              @Telios: I don't think it is the course problem. It is that person problem. IT is pretty much self study. Don't you remember how you learned Linux? You have to Google and read a lot online by yourself.

              The Netacad study material in the course is very useful for beginner. Those students with absolute no idea about IT should have spent double the effort, those who is expecting to be spoon-fed only got themselves to blame.

            • toobzy on 20/09/2021 - 21:58

              @Telios: So if someone knows a bit about IT just as a hobby but has zero work experience.. then they won't get a job after doing the cert iv?

              • Telios on 26/09/2021 - 17:08
                +2

                @toobzy: Having it was a hobby probably puts you higher than the Cert IV.

                As the other chap said having interest and the ability to self study is basically 75% of mid-tier IT jobs.

                I've seen people pass Cert IV who I would never let touch my network.

                And a middle aged accountant lady who absolutely smoked all of us in Python programming.

                Show pride in your interest and you will get work.

      You can in VIC. Upskill requirement is exempted under FreeTafe (i.e changing career) or JobTrainer (being unemployed, you don't need to be on JobSeeker)

    • NothingButPoor on 18/09/2021 - 18:59

      Why you can't? Free eligibility is not offered to Bachelor degree holders?

      • samehada on 18/09/2021 - 19:01
        +2

        Usually there is upskill requirement, you are only eligible for higher level courses that you completed.

        • lothus777 on 18/09/2021 - 19:05

          Oh, might have to ask again. I was going to enrol in Diploma of Nursing from a bachelors of IT but they said I most likely have to pay full fee..

          • samehada on 18/09/2021 - 19:07
            +2

            @lothus777: Just put in your application with Swinburne, many ppl doing Cert 4 in CyberSecurity even have Master Degree. If you are under JobTrainer scheme, you are also exempted from this upskill requirement. Diploma of Nursing is a good one in the list of courses.

            • milesandbos on 18/09/2021 - 20:55

              @samehada: Could be foreign qualifications that might not count in Australia?

              • samehada on 18/09/2021 - 21:09

                @milesandbos: It does count but like I said there is exemption for upskill requirement for FreeTAFE and JobTrainer. For Skill First scheme you are only allow to upskill.

          • samehada on 18/09/2021 - 21:12

            @lothus777: Diploma of Nursing is good for those who want to study Nursing, save you the cost of 1st year of Bachelor of Nursing, once you complete Diploma of Nursing you can continue to 2nd year of Bachelor of Nursing.

            You can work as Enrolled Nurse after you complete Diploma of Nursing and continue your study to Bachelor of Nursing to become Registered Nurse.

                @lothus777: Which one are you applying? Swinburne is a good one, this course is 1.5yr in Swinburne instead of 2yr in other TAFE.

                • lothus777 on 18/09/2021 - 22:06

                  @samehada: Swinburne is like 2 hours away, ended up with VU as its only 5mins away from home

                    @lothus777: yeah but VU course is 2 years.

                      @samehada: 4 hours of transport - 4 days a week rather trade is for 10min drives
                      Swin is 440 hours in 18 months and VU is 400 in 24months - more time to study and probably pick up for extra shifts during casual/PT employment

          I was thinking to do it for fun, like Cert II in Bricklaying so that I can hopefully upgrade my garden lol.
          Then I realised it's actually lots of commitment for the course, and eligibility is an issue if you want it free.

          • samehada on 18/09/2021 - 19:09

            @NothingButPoor: It is a full time study with 3-4 days full time a week and you have assignment to study as well, so you really need to commit if you want to study.

            • ShouldIBuyIt on 18/09/2021 - 20:02

              @samehada: How many hours a day is full time? Are hours flexible? Currently working 8am-5pm interested in cybersecurity. Would that be feasible? I'm fine with study and assignment, already doing AWS on my spare time.

                @ShouldIBuyIt: like 8.30am - 5pm, 4 days a week. If you are working full time it will be hard to commit.

    • ZilogX on 19/09/2021 - 08:25

      For now it is remote learning because of the lockdown but it will be on campus once lockdown finishes. You really need to commit if you want to study, for non-IT background you may have to put in extra efforts.

        True. I want to do this sec cert as a refresher. I did CEH and ECSA back in 2015, expired though.
        Currently doing Microsoft Sec cert. It would be great if they deliver this remotely so I can balance WFH and Studies.

          The Cert IV in Cyber Sec is a fairly "generic" course. As mentioned alsewhere in this thread, it looks good on the resume, but as a "get the job done" qualification, it looks to be too braod with insufficient depth in any one area to be attractive to a hiring manager. I did this one last year (at Chisholm) to give me paper that reflectes my experieence, and found that it is too disjointed, and they set the expectations far higher than this one can deliver on.

          • AussieMate on 19/09/2021 - 10:44

            @magpuy: Thanks for your advise.
            Really helpful in deciding whether to take this course.
            I dont want to take for the sake of free Tafe instead I would spend the time in doing industry level certs which would be directly beneficial for my career.

            +1

            @magpuy: the course is designed for those without background to get foot in the industry.

            Remember Certificate 4 is Vocational Education. You have to study further or work experience or self study to get into further depth of the field. It is a pathway to Graduate Diploma and Bachelor degree.

            IT requires a lot of self study, even if you study Bachelor degree, mostly you will have to self study.

      For courses like Cookery, theory subject is delivered online for now and practical classes will be in campus after lockdown. For IT courses or Accounting courses it is delivered online.

      For those subjects that need to be in campus they are doing the theory as much as they can online and practical one later campus is re-opened.

    • CrazyBargainer on 18/09/2021 - 20:56

  • samehada on 18/09/2021 - 21:17

    I may add the other free course I came across on FB which is under SkillFirst scheme. SkillFirst is a different scheme with upskill requirement so if you want to study some courses under SkillFirst you need to plan it because once you complete a Cert 4 you are not eligible for any other Cert under SkillFirst scheme. Cert 4 is the highest level eligible for funding. This FreeTafe is great since there are a few Diploma course in the list. Just look at NSW, only some short courses are offered.

      Either you need to be under JobSeeker with Health Care Card or you have to make Statutory Declaration. There is consequences if you lie under Stat Dec.

      There is situation that you are unemployed and not eligible for JobSeeker payment because you are on PR and does not satisfy residence requirement yet otherwise you should be able to apply for JobSeeker payment.

  • zan5hin on 19/09/2021 - 00:36

    I enrolled six years ago in one of these free TAFE cert IV courses through national training, it was a deal on here.

    However, I never finished it. My highest qualification is Cert III. Do you reckon I can apply for one of these modern Cert IV?

    Is there a website or number I can call to check against my USI?

    • samehada on 19/09/2021 - 01:07

      If it is 6 years ago then it is under SkillFirst scheme since FreeTafe only started in 2019. So you haven't done any FreeTafe course then you are eligible. If you are under JobSeeker then you are also eligible for JobTrainer scheme as well.

    Studying the Undergraduate Certificate of Cybersecurity and Networking at Box Hill Institute.

    Its bad overall. The content is either super useless theory, or some online labs they shamelessly scraped off other online courses like AWS's one and some Netlab Networking/Cybersecurity ones.

    You would probably be more qualified watching a couple YT vids and taking a quick good online bootcamp than doing this.

    The fact that we're doing the same classes as people actually paying for a degree are is very saddening.

    Its a joke they actually charge people money for this.

    Also, the workload is laughably low, and the assignments are all your "write essay" and "make powerpoints" with an exam at the end.

    As a simultanious student of RMIT, this cert is merely a dent in my workload. I probably spend like 20% of my time tops on this course.

    Also, RMIT's assignments are like 5x more applied, and you learn so much more in these practical style assignments. The content is also not ripped off the internet for free, and the lecturers and tutes are much better.

    Shame on you BHI for charging people money for this. If this wasn't free, I'd have already quit and save the time and trouble.

    Don't go there guys, at least for Cybersec. Would be weary of anything they put out.

      Do you know what is Bachelor and what is Certificate level? and do you know why students go to Cert 3/4 and Diploma level instead of Bachelor? and even at Cert 4 level, some students are struggling? Maybe try to educate yourself on what to expect for VET(Vocational Education and Training)

      Thanks mate for this. I was considering Boxhill for CyberSec CertV. Going back to TAFE research now.

      • samehada on 19/09/2021 - 09:32

        That Box Hill institute will cost you extra $469 with Student Service Fee and Material Fee. Same as many other TAFE schools.

        I have checked all the TAFE schools in the list and Holmesglen and Swinburne are the only 2 that doesn't charge any extra fees.

    Thanks OP for the post. I need some help to get some pointers for a decent TAFE for CyberSec CertV near to western melbourne subrbs ?
    I am looking for a TAFE which offers the course as
    - Full/Part-Time
    - More hands on approach.

    I have shortlisted the following but have no clue which one should I go for:-
    - VU University (Sunshine or Footscray campus)
    - RMIT City Campus
    - Federation University Australia, Ballarat

    Regards
    kZ

    • samehada on 19/09/2021 - 09:43

      go for Swinburne, make sure you check the extra fees on these TAFE schools, they advertise free tuition fee but they charge extra hundreds of dollar in Student Service fees and Material Fees.

      And since it is Vocational Education, in my personal opinion I don't hold so much hope with non-uni TAFE. Swinburne fee structure is great and cheap. RMIT also cost a bit out of pocket but also a good option.

      Another thing to consider is the subject list chosen for this course. I have seen Swinburne and RMIT for example got 2 subjects that teach about Linux, Windows Active Directory compared to the one chosen by Box Hill Institute and a few other TAFEs which are not as technical subjects. But it is hard to tell what is taught by the unit name.

        Thanks mate. It's really helpful.

      I'm currently studying at VU St.Albans and considered Box Hill.

      VU teaches 1-2 subjects at a time and is 2 nights per week part time 5:30-9:30pm

      Box Hill teaches 3 units which might not be relative to each other, at the same time across 3 nights a week part time. The hours are also later 6-10pm

      My brother completed his certificate at Box Hill but after he finished he did not recommend it. VU is OK in that the units are 1 or 2 at a time - but this teacher really doesn't care about teaching us much and as mentioned earlier it is a lot of self study. A fair few students in my class dropped out and we aren't even half way through the course.

    If you are over 30, not working, and interested in IT, this is a better option.

    You get a free 12 week course, then can go on to a 12 week paid internship. There are 5000 spots available (companies are part-subsidized by govt), and you can study a wide range of subjects from project management, to cloud.

      The first intake was around 450 spots and they start every quarter. It probably is a better way to go for IT-related courses and seems to incorporate current industry experts with RMIT courses.

    • Bigredkeg on 20/09/2021 - 15:08

      Sounds great. NSW Have anything like this ?

  • Terra Australis on 19/09/2021 - 08:55

    any of these tafe providers offer 100% online study for cert4/diploma of building and construction?

    looks like holmesglen does a self paced online study. just applied thanks op

    • VILLION on 19/09/2021 - 10:02

      Unless you are currently working in or have previous experience in the construction industry I suggest you do not take up the course.

      I did my cert 4 a few years back with my background being carpentry.

      Class went from 15 students to 3 real quick.

      So many people who weren’t supposed to be there just dropping off each week.
      Heard the same from my friend who did it before me.

      • samehada on 19/09/2021 - 13:08

        The same applies for those with non-IT background getting into Cyber Security expecting to be spoon-fed.

  • [Deactivated] on 19/09/2021 - 09:20

    I'm currently doing a dip can I enroll for 1+year in advance?

  • FoodnTravel on 19/09/2021 - 12:14

    Thanks for posting! I was wondering could someone do a Diploma in Construction and Building with no prior experience? My background is in accounting and it is draining my life :-( Also, which tafe would it be best to study in this field? Are they like unis, where TAFEs excel in particular areas? Thanks in advance

      There is census date usually 1month after the course started that you can withdraw from the course if it is not suitable for you and you can still preserve that FreeTAFE slot for a more suitable course.

      Have a look at Swinburne, there trade school is quite good.
