How to apply
There are different processes for applying, depending on what type of student you are and what level of study that you want to do.
TAFE courses with VTAC entry
For year 12 students and eligible mature age people wanting to return to study. Some full time courses at Certificate IV and higher levels are applied for through the Victorian Tertiary Admission Centre (VTAC), not directly to Kangan Batman. If this applies to a course you wish to apply for, you will need a copy of the VTAC Guide. See the VTAC website for details.
TAFE courses with Direct Entry
Most Certificate and Diploma courses at Kangan Batman TAFE are applied for directly to the Institute. Some courses only take applicants once a year, for courses commencing in February/March, others twice a year, for courses commencing in February/March and again in July (called mid-year entry). Other courses may have enrolments more frequently throughout the year. Some courses, mainly those training apprentices, allow you to enrol at any time throughout the year.There may be different enrolment procedures for the full time and part time versions of the same course.
For direct enrolment information, see How to apply for TAFE courses.

Apprenticeships and Traineeships
