Now one of Australia’s largest TAFE colleges, Central TAFE trains more than 25,000 students, including 1300 from overseas.

We offer around 400 nationally accredited courses in the areas of:

• Business, Management and Finance
• Creative and Digital  (Art, Design and Media; Information Technology and Information Services)
• Engineering and Building
• English and Community Access
• Health and Community Services
• Resources and Science
• Sport and Education
• Tourism and Languages.

With innovative training that has been developed with industry, for the needs of industry, Central TAFE is committed to building the workforce of the future.

The redevelopment will consolidate training in the key areas of resource development, creative industries, community services, and science based disciplines.

The completion of the $8.2 million Newcastle Street print and jewellery facility, officially opened by Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard in 2008, marked the conclusion of the first stage of the redevelopment.

The centrepiece of the new inner city training precinct is a $59.5 million facility located at 30 Aberdeen Street, due to be completed in 2010, which will link other College buildings in the area, as well as promoting stronger ties with the Northbridge business community.

This is an unprecedented investment in Central TAFE’s training capability and will better equip the College to meet the requirement of tomorrow’s workplaces.

Central TAFE began as Perth Technical School in 1900.

The first enrolment of 69 students were attracted to a notice in the 'West Australian' newspaper advertising classes in Chemistry, Assaying, Metallurgy, Minerology, Geology, Woodwork, Metalwork and Carving.  Art and Design classes for mechanical drawing were also offered, all at a 'moderate fee'. 

Classes were held in the old Perth Boys’ School and a number of galvanised iron structures on St George's Terrace. 

Evening Classes Commence

The year 1901 saw the commencement of evening classes, and by 1904, the school had an enrolment of 384 students.  The following year the College began an affiliation with the University of Adelaide.

In 1914 the University of Western Australia (UWA) commenced classes on behalf of the University of Adelaide, therefore eliminating the need for some classes to be held at Perth Technical School.  Some night classes continued and student enrolment numbers continued to climb.

A strong affiliation and a strong professional brotherhood remained between UWA and Perth Technical School, primarily due to the loan of equipment from the School's Department of Botany to the University.

Overcrowding and the Depression

During the next 30 years, the School faced many problems, including staffing shortages during the Depression, overcrowding and dilapidated buildings.

The year 1950 saw the Perth Technical School servicing its students in many different areas. 

The College incorporated the Perth Boys’ School in James Street, a property that fronted onto Mounts Bay Road, and the Junior Technical School in Newcastle Street. 

The post-war period also saw the introduction of many new courses associated with aircraft industry and automotive work to cater for ex-servicemen who had developed expertise in these fields.

Shaping the future of education in WA

In 1962 the Western Australian Institute of Technology (WAIT) was formed as another arm of ‘Perth Tech’ and the departments of Mechanics and Physics were moved to this site in Bentley.  In 1967 the campus became an autonomous body, offering associateships and post-graduate diploma courses.

Central TAFE has played a significant role in the formation of the University of Western Australia, the Leederville Technical College, the Wembley Technical College (now both Central TAFE campuses), the Technical Extension Service, the Carlisle Technical College and Curtin University.

The Central Metropolitan College of TAFE formed

The College became the Central Metropolitan College of TAFE in 1990 following the amalgamation of colleges at Perth, Leederville, Wembley, Mt Lawley, the Claremont School of Art and the WA School of Nursing.

In 1996 legislation was passed giving all Western Australian TAFE Colleges autonomy from the WA Department of Training – devolving the entire TAFE system in WA.

With the incorporation of the Skills Development Centre (now the Centre for Business Solutions), the Advanced Manufacturing Technologies Centre at East Perth (now eCentral) and Subiaco, Central TAFE became the largest TAFE college in the State, and one of the largest in Australia.

We are proud of the considerable role the College has played in shaping the State’s cultural and educational history and will continue to build a sustainable future, based on the philosophy of education and training designed to meet the needs of customers and key stakeholders.

Roleystone mum Helen Paik was the proud recipient of the awards for Vocational Student of the Year and the High Achiever at the 2008 Central TAFE Awards, inspiring judges with her commitment to excellence in the face of adversity.

A mature age student, Helen has overcome many personal battles to achieve her life long ambition to become a nurse.

Helen completed her studies and went on to take up a sought after position with Fremantle Hospital  where she undertook training as an Anaesthetic Nurse, through their graduate enrolled nursing program. She is currently working in aged care as an enrolled nurse with Amana Living to fulfil her goal to contribute to the continuous improvement of the quality of life for older people.

“I feel very privileged to have been given the opportunity to study and pursue a career in nursing,” she said.

“I am also very proud to be able to prove that age is indeed not a barrier to studying and becoming a nurse!

“The rigorous learning requirements of my Central TAFE course pushed me to lift and expand my personal levels of learning to new heights.

“I realised early in my studies that I was driven to attain the highest mark I could possibly achieve so I that I could become not just an Enrolled Nurse, but an Excellent Enrolled Nurse.”

Florence, who hails from Mauritius, impressed judges with her team and leadership skills and her dream to develop the events area within the tourism industry of her home country.

During her studies she has been an asset to any team she works with. As a driving force behind Central TAFE’s 2007 Cultural Week, Forence was instrumental in negotiating high level sponsorships from international companies including Air Mauritius.

In an industry where communication skills are paramount, Florence, who works part time at an events company, overcame many of the barriers faced by international students including the often insurmountable language barriers.

“It was not easy to leave my family and friends and start a new live in Perth,” she has said. “But I have learned that even in hard times I have to stay focused on my priorities. I have learned to be a winner in any circumstance.”

The AMEP program is provided under the Department of Immigration and Citizenship. The aim of the program is to help migrants achieve “functional” English, that is, the basic English skills needed to settle satisfactorily in Australia and improve chances of finding a job. AMEP also provides information on the Australian way of life and advice on accessing essential services.

In the program, eligible migrants and refugees are given help with English skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening. The course is based on the nationally accredited Certificates in Spoken and Written English.

English can be learnt in a variety of ways:

• Full-time classes (15 hours per week) in the morning or afternoon
• Part-time classes (4 to 6 hours per week) in the day, evening or Saturday morning
• Special Focus classes which include English for Driving, Computer classes, Employment Pathways, English for First Aid and English for Maths.

To be eligible to learn English through the AMEP, migrants or humanitarian entrants need to:

• have arrived in Australia after July 1, 1991, or
• be temporary residents who hold certain visa classes, or
• have been granted permanent residence in Australia since July 1, 1991
• be 18 years or over
• register with the AMEP programme (ideally within three months of arriving in Australia)
• be interviewed when they register to see if they have functional English

To find out if you are eligible, ring 9427 1377 or 9427 1239 for an interview. When you come for an interview, please bring your passport and visa.                                      

Classes concentrate on improving language and literacy skills to undertake further education and training, to help seek and maintain employment or to participate in the community.

In addition, a variety of extra classes are offered and students can choose these within their allocated hours. Classes include:

• English for Driving: The English for Driving Course is to help you with the English you need to take the Learner’s Permit.  It is not a practical driving course. You will study road rules, safe driving, learner’s permit test, reporting accidents and the law.
• English for First Aid: You will learn CPR, dealing with broken bones, snake bite and general first aid in a range of practical activities. The First Aid Certificate is recognised in workplaces.
• Employment Pathways: Learn about writing resumes, job application letters, Occupational Health and Safety, Work Place Agreements, interview techniques, Australian English in the workplace.
• Computer classes: Whatever your level of English and computer skills, there is something to be learned in these classes. Experienced teachers give personal assistance to help develop your computer skills.
• English for Maths: You may be confident in your calculating skills but unable to express these concepts in English. This class will help with future studies or employment which need maths skills, or even to help you with your child’s maths homework.

Counsellors

The program has the services of experienced counsellors who can assist you in various ways:

• General counselling – learning difficulties, managing work and study, personal problems
• Support counselling for victims of torture and trauma
• Interviews for students to establish pathways for achieving vocational and academic goals
• Referral to external support services

Independent Learning Centre

As well as having access to the Central TAFE Library, AMEP students can visit the Independent Learning Centre (ILC) to study independently. English language teachers can help locate resources and answer questions related to English language learning.

There are books, CDs, DVDs, audio tapes and computer program for self study from beginner to advanced level.

Migrant Pathways into Employment

The AMEP’s Migrant Pathways into Employment courses are designed to assist students obtain employment in a range of sectors including Mining, Community Services and Science.

The courses are typically 6 months in duration and include English support and, in some cases, field placement.

If you are registered with a Job Network they may pay your fees for you.

For more information contact the Migrant Pathways into Employment Officer on 9427 1577

Translations

Eligible clients can have fee-free translations of certain documents necessary for settlement in Australia – birth certificates, marriage certificates, educational qualifications, employment references.

Volunteers help by providing opportunities for extra conversation in small groups, a valuable way for newly arrived migrants to learn more about Australia and share their settlement experiences.

Volunteers can also help in classes where there is low literacy and oracy. The lecturer will plan the lesson and the volunteer can assist by following the lecturer’s directions to help individuals or groups.

Volunteering is a great way to contribute to the community. If you are interested in helping, contact the AMEP office.

'Protect' recognises that the infection is not as severe as originally envisaged. The disease is mild in most cases, severe in some and moderate overall. The overwhelming majority of patients are making a rapid and full recovery.

Key elements of the new phase include:

• A focus on early detection and treatment of people who may be vulnerable to severe outcomes.
• Identification and early treatment of those with moderate or severe disease, especially in people with respiratory difficulty.
• Control of outbreaks through testing and treatment in institutional settings, such as special schools, residential aged care facilities and prisons.
• Voluntary home isolation for those with mild disease with supportive treatment only, such as over the counter medication. Antiviral therapy will not be provided to these patients or their household contacts, unless they belong to vulnerable groups or are in institutional settings. Contacts will not be placed into quarantine.

Measures specific to Western Australia

As part of the new phase, the WA Department of Health has advised the following will now apply in Western Australia:

• Contacts of confirmed cases will not routinely be placed in quarantine.
• Voluntary school exclusion policy will no longer be applied.
  From Thursday 18 June 2009, children do not need to be kept home from school for seven days after visiting areas where swine flu is prevalent. However, parents are urged to keep children at home if they are unwell to protect their class mates from illness.
• The Department of Health will no longer routinely close schools if students are found to have human swine influenza.
• People with mild flu-like symptoms do not need to go to a doctor or hospital or to be tested for human swine flu. By staying home and resting until well, most people will recover by themselves within a few days.

Preventative tips for staff and students

• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
• Place used tissues straight in the rubbish bin.
• Use alcohol gel and similar handwash products, particularly if you have extensive contact with the public.
• Wash and dry your hands often, especially after sneezing or coughing.
• If you are sick, stay home.

Additional information is available from the WA Department of Health.

The qualifications are:

• Advanced Diploma
• Diploma
• Certificate IV
• Certificate III

Advanced Diploma
The Advanced Diploma is the highest TAFE qualification. It involves two to three years full-time or equivalent part-time study, and is about the same level as the older Associate Diploma.

Diploma
Diploma courses involve up to two years full-time study or equivalent part-time study. The Diploma is about the same level as the older Associate Diploma.

At this level, you are given broad theoretical knowledge and/or technical and creative skills at substantial depth. Analysis, judgement and planning are involved across a broad range of technical and/or management situations. Graduates at this level could be expected to work autonomously in complex technical operations or to coordinate their own work or the work of others.

Certificate IV
At this level you are developing a broad knowledge base. You learn to analyse and evaluate information and to apply the knowledge and skills to a wide variety of contexts. With this qualification you could be expected to take limited responsibility for the work of other people. The duration of the Certificate IV is usually one year full-time or equivalent part-time.

Certificate III
You learn additional theoretical knowledge and develop higher skills for solving a variety of problems. A person with this qualification would be able to use discretion and judgement in interpreting information and applying skills.

Certificate II
You move on to acquire operational knowledge in skill areas where you can apply solutions to predictable problems.
