STUDENT PROFILElsquoTAFE gave me the flexibility to organize my time manage the kids my farm and the driving to town with my partner being away
The quality of teaching the resources and technical support TAFE provides is a relief knowing they will do their best to help you work through your course and succeed
Something I really appreciated is my teacher constantly orientating and customising my work to my interests or needs so it was never boring She also always took time to explain or guide me through my work as she did for all the studentsrsquo
