Vocational Education in Australia
June 21, 2008
Colleges in Australia mainly offer vocational education and training. These vocational providers act as the bridge between high school and the higher education sector including Universities.
The colleges in Australia can be Government or privately managed.
The private institutions offer a broad range of courses, diplomas and certificates which are designed to enable students with the practical skills required to work in the business sectors.
The types of courses they offer include IT, English language training, computing, design, hospitality and tourism, business management, marketing and secretarial studies.
These private vocational training institutions come in different sizes with smaller colleges having as little
as 30 students and the larger ones having upwards of 5,000 students. On average the student to teacher
ratio is approximately 1:20.
Institutions all have their own admission requirements, different courses and different lengths of courses.
The Business colleges usually have both certificate and diploma courses. The Diploma courses are generally run over a period of 30-40 weeks whilst the certificate courses run from 12 to 30 weeks.
