Studying abroad can be a life-changing decision, so it is important that you and your family consider a wide range of factors - availability of programs that meet your needs, fees, credibility of the institution, quality of the graduates, the outcomes which the program offers, location, cost of living, lifestyle. Sunshine Coast TAFE offers a very special package of quality education and training in an environment that international students are just beginning to discover.

Located just over an hour by road or rail from the Queensland's metropolitan capital, Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast is now Australia's fastest growing region attracting many thousands of migrants each year from within Australia and overseas. The enviable lifestyle and the environment are certainly prominent factors but so too are the wealth of new opportunities, dynamism and innovation that are so characteristic of the Sunshine Coast.

Sunshine Coast TAFE currently enrols almost 15,000 students in a wide diversity of programs that meet the needs of local, national and international industry and the professions. Sunshine Coast TAFE is a government owned and operated institution and all of its programs are quality assured to meet the most rigorous of national and international standards. Graduates are highly regarded for their skills, experience and ability to meet the demands of their chosen careers. While many continue to the workforce others use their TAFE qualifications as a pathway to further study. Many Sunshine Coast qualifications are recognised by universities, including the University of the Sunshine Coast, for direct entry or with advanced standing into a wide variety of undergraduate programs.
