TAFE SA is offering a flexible delivery model across South Australia which allows for the provision of on and off site education and training suitable to you and your organisation.

TAFE SA commences the training through the development of a training plan which identifies and selects which units are most relevant to the goals of the student and the organisation.

The development of this training plan involves; the employee, the employer, the school and individuals wishing to study the qualification. Once the training plan is developed and approved by all, a delivery program for the course can commence.
