I chose to study at TAFE because it is very practical and for me that is the best way to learn. TAFE is the best place to start learning about fashion. All the lecturers are very patient and passionate, which makes you love it.

I really liked the emphasis on the hands-on learning both here at the clinic and the learning that we do out in the field.

The Vet Nursing program is great because they also offer additional assistance to international students.

Australia offers brilliant education in the area of remedial massage which Japan does not have. Remedial massage is not common in my country so we can't study this course full time. If I can bring back my expertise to Japan it could be a huge business opportunity for me.

At the start of my studies, I had no idea what TAFE was all about. Today I can proudly say, that one of the best decisions I have ever made is to study here. The “learn through practice” approach is a plus for students. We get a real concept of how the industry works. My course provides me with all the essential skills the workforce requires. I personally feel TAFE is key to a successful career in Australia.
