Where students study

International students study in Australian schools, vocational training institutes and colleges, English language schools, universities and community colleges. Australia also offers distance and online learning.

Many Australian education programs are offered offshore so students can study for Australian qualifications in their own country or combine with studying in Australia.

Vocational education training

Public and private vocational training institutions deliver training focused on the workplace. Courses range from accounting and applied science to business studies, tourism and hospitality and include trade courses, such as plumbing and carpentry.

International students are attracted to study VET in Australia because they develop practical skills for the workplace. Another advantage is that Australian qualifications are linked nationally, so VET study is part of a recognised pathway to advancement and a future university degree.

Overseas students have a wide range of VET institutions to choose from with over 660 colleges to choose from and more than 7,000 VET courses, registered on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS).
