TAFE SA accepts 17 year old international students to study either English language or award courses on campus. Students can apply when they are 16 but must be 17 at the time of commencement of their study (as per the date date identified on the CoE).
TAFE SA is currently reviewing its policy for international students under the age of 18. We are currently only accepting international students under the age of 18 who are accompanied by a nominated guardian.
Please note that if students do not maintain adequate welfare arrangements during their stay in Australia, their student visa may be cancelled.
If students intend to change their welfare or accommodation arrangements at any time, they must meet with the International Student Support Consultant and get written approval for this change. TAFE SA is obliged to notify the Department of Home Affairs of any changes to individual student’s welfare and accommodation arrangements.
