“Sunshine Coast TAFE gave me the flexibility to complete my Diploma in Childcare through my workplace. At TAFE I had the benefit of face-to-face contact with teachers in my own workplace. The teachers were fantastic, they were always easy to contact and had all the information I needed. Getting my Diploma was such an exciting moment, and I could really see that my teachers were pleased as well. Currently, I’m running a child care centre and I’m enrolling in the Advanced Diploma in Child Care.”
Anna Doyle, Diploma of Children’s Services
“The Diploma of IT Networking and Systems Administration at Sunshine Coast TAFE is very hands-on, it’s really focused on setting you up for working in the real world in IT. The teachers all have extensive industry experience so they’re always able to give us practical advice. When I finish my Diploma I plan to work in systems administration.”

“I am completing the Certificate IV in Building while working as a supervisor for the family building business. All the staff at the facility were incredibly helpful, especially the teachers. They are always available to help and are very understanding. When I finish I plan to apply for my Builders Licence and branch out from the family business.”
Mark Guest, Certificate IV in Building
“I decided to study at Sunshine Coast TAFE to develop broader skills in the nursing industry and the course was perfect to increase my skill set, refresh my knowledge and broaden my qualifications. It was always important to me to be able to study while continuing to work and find time for my family. I found that the flexibility that TAFE offered meant that it could fit into my life. The teachers were excellent – they were friendly and completely understood the demands of working and studying. I was also able to network with other people in my industry – both teachers and other students.”
Heather Gillam, Diploma of Disability Work
I chose to study at Sunshine Coast TAFE because it offered all the elements of literacy and numeracy I needed. The teachers were kind, attentive and always available to answer questions. The encouragement that the teachers gave helped me to realise that I could achieve things which I had previously thought were impossible. Studying has not only strengthened my abilities, but also my belief that when you set your mind to it you can do anything. Sunshine Coast TAFE has prepared me for further study and I now hope to complete a doctorate in natural medicine.”

“After having completed my apprenticeship in the electrical trade at Sunshine Coast TAFE, I have since returned to undertake the Electrical Contractors course with the aim of starting my own business in the near future. My studies here have provided me with many opportunities and a pathway to achieving my goal of setting up my own electrical business. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Sunshine Coast TAFE.”
Robert McDonald, Electrical Contractors course
“The teachers at Sunshine Coast TAFE were industry professionals, some which I had actually worked with previously. It meant that we had a great rapport with the teachers which made going back to study after so many years in the industry much easier. Studying at Sunshine Coast TAFE was great to refresh my knowledge and also to gain formal qualifications in my area of expertise.”
Luella McDonald, Certificate III in Health Service Assistance
“I chose to study the Diploma in Justice Administration at Sunshine Coast Institute of TAFE because I’d heard really good reports about the course and the campus and I wasn’t disappointed. The teachers were helpful and thorough. A number had current industry experience in the police force, so they could give us practical examples, which assisted with my studies. I enjoyed the atmosphere at TAFE and the challenge of studying and made great friends. I plan to continue my studies before applying for the Queensland Police at the end of the year. I am currently completing the Diploma in Business, which I think is applicable to most career paths.”
