Policies, guidelines and workplace health and safety
Admission policy
The admission policy for TAFE Queensland states that students should be a minimum of 15 years of age and/or have completed Year 10 or its equivalent to enter certificate level programs.
Programs may be available to assist prospective students to obtain equivalent Year 10 or Year 12 qualifications. Some variations to this policy may apply to mature age students and special consideration in terms of access to programs may be given on the basis of disability, merit and social justice.
