TAFE International Western Australia

TAFE International Western Australia (TIWA) is the international arm of Western Australia's public Technical and Further Education (TAFE) network. It recruits, enrols, and supports overseas students studying vocational education and training (VET) at TAFE colleges across the state, including North Metropolitan TAFE, South Metropolitan TAFE, Central Regional TAFE, and South Regional TAFE. Programs span certificates through advanced diplomas—and selected higher-education pathways—in fields such as hospitality, business, engineering, health, information technology, and creative industries. TIWA is not a traditional research university; it is a government-backed VET provider focused on industry-aligned, practical skills and employability. International students typically study at TAFE campuses in Perth and regional Western Australia, with TIWA providing centralised admissions, student support, and orientation services from its Perth office.
