External (EVET) Students

While many students enrol full-time at Southern Cross and the Trade Training/Skills Centres, some courses are also offered one session per week (usually in the afternoon) so that students can attend part-time as external students. In some specialisation courses, students are able to complete full certificate III qualifications that are not available at their home school.
