Studying at Wodonga Institute of TAFE

vibrant and fastest growing regional cities in Australia and is an
integral part of the region's learning community. Our main campus
is in Wodonga, which is situated on the border of Victoria and New
South Wales and is easily accessible by major road, rail and air
transport routes. Wodonga, with its sister city Albury, offers the
lifestyle advantages of the large city, but in a safe environment
that supports and nurtures young people.
Wodonga has plenty to offer including:

water sports on the Murray River; snow skiing; biking and walking
paths; and team sports such as hockey, football and netball
- cultural events and the arts, with local theatre companies,
galleries and museums
- a complete range of health and community facilities
- a thriving business community offering part-time work
opportunities for students
- exceptional shopping precincts

manufacturing, transport and logistics, retail, tourism and
hospitality, and first-class health facilities.
Established in 1986, Wodonga TAFE provides a great learning and
development pathway wherever you are in life. So whether you're
just starting out or changing to a new career path, complementing
the education you already have, or choosing study for personal
challenge or reward, we have something to offer you and in a
friendly, supportive and vibrant environment.
We enjoy close working relationships with business and industry
in the region, where we provide training solutions for small,
medium and large enterprises through our departments and business
divisions. We also maintain strong links to our local community,
schools, other education providers, community groups and local
government where we are recognised for our accessibility and
responsiveness to training needs.

graduates and their employers express a high level of satisfaction

9001:2008 quality system and meet all the requirements of the

Facilities
Wodonga TAFE's facilities are among the most modern and
up-to-date in Australia. As well as classrooms fitted with the
latest technology, workshops, warehouse, and other practical
training facilities, Wodonga TAFE provides excellent student
facilities, including a cafeteria and a range of student recreation
and related facilities. A new state of the art hospitality and
tourism facility is the latest addition to the campus. Wodonga
TAFE's facilities and beautiful grounds are maintained in excellent
condition.
You'll never feel like you're in a concrete jungle at Wodonga
TAFE. Enjoy your time between classes in the landscaped outdoor
areas. Shoot some baskets, or take a walk along the pathways that
lead from the main section of the campus to the student
accommodation, the student amenities building (The Hangar), and the
David Mann Library
that we share with La Trobe University - Albury Wodonga Campus.
Felltimber Creek winds its way through the campus. We have
revitalised the creek and its surrounds through a program of
revegetation and bank stabilisation. This is just one way we're
working to improve the environment for our students and staff. We
use recycled water on our gardens and lawns, and a team of
staff is looking at ways we can contribute to environmental
sustainability.
If you need to be indoors, there is a student lounge where you
can play table tennis, or just hang out with friends and enjoy a
coffee or a bite to eat from the café.

All Wodonga TAFE staff are fully qualified and highly motivated.
Their total quality management approach develops committed and
diligent teams that engender enthusiasm and motivation to the
education system and particularly the students.
Wodonga TAFE invests heavily in the professional development of
its staff and managers, and has a rigorous quality assurance
program to ensure that services of the highest quality are
delivered to its students.
