Studying TAFE courses online

Studying a TAFE qualification online can give you the qualifications you want, while studying at the pace that suits you. The Open Training and Education Network (OTEN) is resource for students to find the course they’re interested in studying, all from the comfort of home.

Studying an OTEN course gives students a nationally recognised TAFE qualification, just the same as a student studying on campus at a TAFE institution. With studying an OTEN course online, students can enrol at any time, study at their own pace, study any where and at any time, and pay as they go. It is a convenient and flexible way to gain a qualification for those who like to do things at their own speed.

What OTEN courses are available?

Students are able to study courses at the Graduate Certificate, Diploma, Advanced Diploma, and Certificates from I to IV. OTEN courses are delivered in a range of ways, depending on the subject matter. Some courses are provided completely online, with others providing course materials via CD, DVD or printed materials.

A support system is also available via the OTEN Online Learning Support (OLS) system, which allows students to receive help online if they have any issues. The OTEN OLS is available 24/7, and also provides frequent updates on course progress and resources.

The courses available to study vary from Accounting and Finance to Hospitality and Tourism.

How to enrol to an OTEN course


Each OTEN course has its own course guide, which outlines the steps required to enrol. Courses will require students to fill out and submit an enrolment form. Students can contact OTEN through Compare Courses for more information. Some courses may require applicants to submit additional forms or information, which students should double check for.

Therefore studying by OTEN is a great way to gain a qualification, especially for those who like to learn at their own pace.
