Can’t make it to class at your local TAFE College? Live too far away? Work irregular hours? Have family commitments or is travel too difficult? Then studying with the Open Training and Education Network (OTEN) may be the answer for you.

OTEN is the specialist distance education and training provider of TAFE NSW, the largest vocational education and training organisation in Australia. OTEN offers over 250 qualifications and courses, and accepts applications to enrol from students all over NSW, from other states and territories of Australia and overseas. Last year over 35 000 students studied through OTEN. Our courses and programs are flexible and may be delivered in many ways – online, CD, printed learning materials, audio, video or some may have a face-to-face component, workshops, practicals or in the workplace.

As a student with OTEN you have the opportunity to study where it best suits you, and when – at home, in the workplace, at the local library, at night, on weekends or in your holidays.

OTEN enrolment applications are accepted continuously for most of the year. What are you waiting for, now is the time to make a decision that may change the rest of your life!
