Federation TAFE
Our vocational education courses offer pathways to further study or employment, helping to support local industry and regional communities.
Federation TAFE is Victoria’s only dual‑sector regional and rural TAFE and university – and that makes us a little different. We bring together hands‑on training, real industry partnerships and deep regional knowledge to help build the skilled workforce our communities need to thrive.
We offer a broad range of pre‑employment, trade, post‑trade and entry‑ to mid‑level qualifications. Every course is designed in collaboration with employers, which means our training stays aligned with industry needs and supports strong employment outcomes for students.
