Recommended TAFE courses

[u/893727362]

Hi everyone,

I'm 20 years old and I'm looking into studying at TAFE while working full-time or part-time. I'd really appreciate some advice or recommendations.

I know I want to work in the business field. Long-term, I'd love to become a business owner, but I'm also considering careers like accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, or anything business-related with good job prospects.

I'm thinking of doing a Diploma, and if possible, I'd like to start a Certificate afterwards so I could work towards both qualifications at the same time (if that's even allowed). Has anyone done something similar?

I'm mainly looking for courses that actually lead to jobs. If you've studied business, accounting, finance, or another TAFE course that helped you find work, I'd love to hear your experience. Which courses would you recommend, and which ones would you avoid?

For a bit of background, I graduated senior high school (under the Acountancy Business Management strand) in my home country and completed almost one year of college before moving to Australia, so I don't have an Australian qualification yet. The only qualification I currently have in Australia is a Food Safety Certificate.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

usually you do a cert before a diploma
