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.

Information about courses and how to apply is on the Externally-delivered VET page of this website.
