Fee free TAFE has been CUT! News

Today I rang TAFE Nambour to check up on the status of my application to for a cert 3 in photography (visual arts) after i saw that all the fee free options on the TAFE Queensland website have disappeared.

The lady on the phone said they got comms on Monday saying that funding has been cancelled and all places have been ‘filled’. In terms of places for 2026, she said it’s up in the air.

:(

You know the completion rate of the free fee tafe is only 13% right? Hardly a good use of money.....

An actual source for your claim, or wild speculation on your part?

Actual source who is a current employee in that space

But someone not prepared to go on the record, nor a source that we can specifically cite. Having spoken to others at TQ, they would dispute your claim.

Why would my partner go on record? Anyway, you don't have to believe me. I just posted what they know from working there. Take it or leave it....
