    Domestic Enrolment Process

    Training Australia First (TAF) delivers nationally recognised qualifications through face-to-face training and/or workplace-based delivery.

    Throughout your course, your Trainer/Assessor will provide academic support and guidance. Students may attend scheduled classroom sessions, participate in workplace visits (where applicable), and contact their Trainer/Assessor via phone or email for support.

    Step 1: Pre-Training Review (Course Suitability)

    Prior to enrolment and before any fees are collected, TAF will conduct a Pre-Training Review to:

    • Determine whether the course is suitable for your interests, career goals and job outcomes
