Technical and Further Education or TAFE (pronounced [tæɪf]) institutions provide a wide range of predominantly vocational tertiary education courses in Australia. Fields covered include hospitality, tourism, construction, engineering, secretarial skills, visual arts, computer programming and community work. Texas Association of Future Educators is an association which promotes careers in education to high school students. ...
...
Individual TAFE institutions (usually with many campuses) are known as either colleges or institutes, depending on the state or territory. TAFE colleges are owned, operated and financed by the various State and Territory Governments. This is in contrast to the higher education sector, whose funding is predominantly the domain of the Commonwealth government and whose universities are predominantly owned by the state governments. The states and territories of Australia make up the Commonwealth of Australia under a federal system of government. ...

Qualifications awarded by TAFE colleges TAFE colleges generally award qualifications up to the level of advanced diploma, which is below that of Bachelor degree within the Australian Qualifications Framework. A bachelors degree is usually an undergraduate academic degree awarded for a course that generally lasts three or four years. ...
The Australian Qualifications Framework provides the hierarchy of educational qualifications in Australia. ...
In many instances TAFE study can be used as partial credit towards Bachelor degree-level university programs. Some TAFE colleges (primarily in Victoria and the ACT) now confer their own degree-level awards, though not beyond the level of Bachelor; this practice is somewhat controversial due to the blurring of once clearly defined boundaries between sectors.
TAFEs in some states can also teach senior high school qualifications, like the VCE. Some universities, e.g. Charles Darwin University and RMIT University, offer TAFE courses; these are funded by the local state and territory governments. Some High Schools also deliver courses developed and accredited by TAFEs. The Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE] is the credential given to students who have completed Year 11 and Year 12 of their secondary schooling, in the state of Victoria, Australia. ...

Some private institutions also offer courses from TAFEs, however they more commonly offer other vocational education and training courses.
Note that many Australians refer to all sub-degree courses as 'TAFE' courses, no matter what institution creates or delivers the course. Before the 1990s, the TAFEs had a near monopoly in the sector.
TAFE colleges by state/territory In most cases, TAFE campuses are grouped into TAFE institutions along geographic lines. Most TAFEs are given a locally recognised region of the country where they exclusively operate. Most TAFEs institutions cover a wide range of subjects, however a few TAFEs specialise in a single area of study. These are usually found near the middle of the capital cities, and service the whole state or territory. For example, the Trade and Technician Skills Institute (from 1 July 2006), when fully operational will specialise in automotive, building and construction, manufacturing and engineering, and electrical/electronic studies throughout Queensland. is the 182nd day of the year (183rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...
