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
  • Identify any entry requirements or prerequisites
  • Identify any support needs or reasonable adjustment requirements
  • Assess your ability to successfully complete the qualification

During this stage, you will be provided with:

  • Domestic Student Handbook (including policies and procedures)
  • Prospectus
  • Fees and Charges Schedule
  • Information about your rights and obligations
  • Information about TAF’s obligations
  • Information about support services available
  • Information about the Unique Student Identifier (USI)

Step 2: Application Requirements

If the course is considered suitable, you will be required to:

  • Complete and sign an Application Form
  • Complete a Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) assessment (and digital literacy check where required)
  • Provide your USI (TAF cannot issue certification without a valid and verified USI)
  • Provide one document as evidence of eligibility to study as a domestic student in Australia (e.g. green Medicare card, Australian birth certificate, passport/visa, or other relevant documentation)
  • Meet the specific entry requirements of the course (as outlined in the Prospectus and on the TAF website)

TAF has mapped LLN requirements against the ACSF levels applicable to each qualification to ensure students have the required foundation skills.

Step 3: Assessment of Application

Once all documents are received:

  • TAF will review your Application Form
  • LLN results will be assessed
  • Entry requirements will be confirmed
  • Any required reasonable adjustments will be documented in an Individual Learning Plan (ILP)

You will be informed of the outcome of your application.

If you do not meet the course requirements, you will be advised in writing.

Step 4: Letter of Offer and Written Agreement

If deemed suitable, TAF will issue:

  • A Domestic Letter of Offer
  • A Written Agreement
  • A Payment Plan (where applicable)

You must:

  • Read the Letter of Offer and Written Agreement carefully (this is a legally binding document)
  • Sign the agreement and payment plan
  • Make payments in accordance with the agreed terms

A copy of the signed agreement will be provided to you.

 Step 5: Enrolment Confirmation

Once the signed agreement and payment arrangements are finalised:

  • Your enrolment will be processed in VETtrak
  • Your USI will be verified
  • You will receive an Enrolment Letter confirming your intake and orientation details

Step 6: Orientation (Mandatory)

Orientation is mandatory for all students.

If you are unable to attend the scheduled orientation session, you must notify TAF and an alternative session will be arranged.

Orientation provides important information regarding:

  • Course structure
  • Assessment requirements
  • Support services
  • Complaints and appeals
  • Course progress requirements
  • Workplace health and safety (where applicable)
