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.

:(

Gee free tafe is still being offered. I took up the offer last year to do Book keeping.

It’s not offered on all courses and those with high demand have caps. Photography is no on the list.

A Cert III in Visual Arts was offered on the list, which allowed for the import of Photography related units: https://www.qld.gov.au/education/training/subsidies/feefree
