Full time is usually 4 days a week (Mon-Thurs) and part time 2 days a week. The day is similar to a school day, around 9-3 etc. If you talk to them about your current situation they can do their best to accommodate but generally, you have to get to TAFE for all 4 days, one way or another... basically, each day is made up of different subjects so you have to have done Monday's at some point, Tuesday's at some point, Wednesday's at some point and Thursday's at some point if that makes sense. If you want to just do mornings one term then afternoons for another that could possibly work but it really depends on how the particular TAFE structures the subjects in a day/week so the best thing to do is give them a call or go in for a chat -- they do try their best to make it work for you. At least, that is how it was at my local TAFE.
Hopefully someone with information more specific to your particular TAFE stops by soon!
Have you considered the program where you can be sponsered by a hospital/medical facility and study at the same time? therefore you get practical training to consolidate your theory AND you get paid. A lot of nursing homes do it and St Vincent's Private used to do it (not sure if they still do).
not sure - but if you contact your Department of Human Services or similar, they should be able to tell you. I know the Govt in several States ran some programs to try and get people into the industry a few years back - not sure if it is still being done. Or contact the venues you would be interested in working at and ask if they have anything like it.
I am studying Div2 at the moment through chisholm in berwick - I am doing it part time (2 days a week) but full time is only 3 day but with twice the workload which i know i wouldnt be able to handle with my girls and the rest of my life going on.
My hours are wed 3pm to 7.30ish and fri 8am - 3pm and i am somehow managing to get my study done although there is a fair bit of homework to do!
