Step 1. Contact a Polytechnic West Information Officer and find out when the next qualification starts and the closing date for applications. Request that an application form be posted to you when it is available if you intend to lodge a written application.
Step 2. Start preparing for your application early. Leaving it to the last minute can disadvantage you. The TAFE Admissions application form requires details of academic achievement, employment/work experience /voluntary activities, Australian citizenship or permanent residency status, and other matters.
Step 3. When you receive the application form, answer the questions in neat handwriting. If you are to be successful with your application TAFE Admissions has to be able to read your details.

Your application will be forwarded to TAFE Admissions for assessment. Places in Polytechnic West qualifications are allocated on the basis of a score calculated from Academic Merit and Work Experience. Qualifications are filled from the highest score down until all places are taken.
Alternatively, you may prefer to apply online.
If your application is successful you will receive a letter from TAFE Admissions offering a place in the qualification and enclosing information on how to accept the offer of place.
