South Metropolitan TAFE – Diploma of Landscape Design

I was very fortunate to have chosen TAFE as a place to learn a new career, since the quality of lecturers and top-level structure provided me great conditions to develop skills required by the industry, opened doors and helped me to get a job that I dreamed of.’ ‘I would say to students that have doubts about facing a new pathway in another country: go ahead. It doesn't matter your age, if you are not English fluent or if you need start back at square one and give up from another occupation you don't like. Just follow your heart and soul. Never choose a course just because of the money or the demand. Choose something that you love to do. In this way, the journey will be much more enjoyable and rewarding and opportunities will come to build a solid and successful career.
