About Us
As Victoria's largest regional stand-alone TAFE, The Gordon has been helping people gain real skills for real jobs for 125 years. We pride ourselves on delivering a great range of options in vocational 'hands-on' training with one of the most comprehensive suites of courses in Western Victoria.
Students can choose from hundreds of short courses and nationally accredited qualifications across apprenticeships, traineeships, certificates, diplomas, and advanced diplomas, which can lead you to a great career or create a pathway to university.
From Geelong, Victoria, around Australia and overseas, thousands choose to study with us each year via flexible options including on-campus, full and part-time, off campus, online, and in the workplace.
The Gordon also embraces the partnership model; working with Deakin University to create accredited pathways and with local employers to create job placements. We are also forging strong international partnerships, attracting an increasing number of international students to our highly regarded and internationally recognised courses.

The Gordon is located in Geelong, the largest regional city in Victoria and the gateway to the Bellarine Peninsula, Surf Coast and Otways regions, which means you can enjoy a fantastic lifestyle while you study.
