Diploma of Information Technology
(Systems Administration)
TAFE Queensland
“I used to work for IT related companies in Hungary but chose
Queensland because of the warmer weather, nice beaches and of
course I didn’t want to study in a crowded city. ”
I wanted to study and improve my English and IT skills, and knew that TAFE would be the best option. I searched all
the VET providers in Brisbane and decided TAFE Queensland was the best choice due to its great facilities, on-campus
services and other students’ reviews.
“I met lots of people including great teachers and other staff, as
well as the international team.”
Whenever I asked someone for help, I always got answers in a friendly way which gave me more confidence in talking to
people.
I learnt so much about IT and server network management, plus how to use specific hardware and software, and most
importantly how to sell my knowledge in the IT field. At TAFE Queensland I was able to gain practical knowledge which is
a huge advantage in my university studies, and as a result of my Diploma gained one year’s credit towards my university
course.
“I absolutely recommend TAFE Queensland to other international
students and believe TAFE Queensland should be proud of its
good reputation.”

Be a Fancy Clothes Maker
Asako (Mako) Kono
Japan
Advanced Diploma of Applied Fashion Design and Technology
TAFE Queensland Brisbane
“I ultimately wanted to immerse myself in making fashion.”
Mako grew up in Japan and worked in fashion retail and with a fashion magazine publisher before arriving in Australia to
pursue an art history degree at university. “I wasn’t enjoying my studies very much and when I asked the course coordinator
what jobs would be available to me once I graduate, she said I could either be a museum curator or an art teacher.” She
says, “Neither prospects appealed to me, because I ultimately wanted to immerse myself in making fashion.”
Mako began asking friends and researched her study options before deciding to study at TAFE Queensland. She initially had
very limited sewing experience, so she found the practical study and small class structure better suited her needs. Mako
found all the teachers to be very experienced - they shared their knowledge and experiences to enable students to achieve
their goals.
“Now I am in the industry working full-time and actually using the
skills I learnt.”
After she graduated from TAFE Queensland, Mako found part-time work with one of TAFE Queensland’s fashion industry
partners, Glitter and Dance and was later offered a full-time position with them that same year. The family run Brisbane
company has been a dance fabric supplier since 1994 and also helps customers create the perfect dance costume. Glitter
and Dance has regularly provided internship and work opportunities for TAFE Queensland’s fashion students and graduates.
“Now I am in the industry working full-time and actually using the skills I learnt, from designing and pattern making with CAD
to the manufacturing process.”
“I am very glad that I chose TAFE Queensland.”

“I thought studying the Diploma of Nursing in Cairns would be the
right starting point.”
Way back one year ago, I was on a working holiday in Cairns. I really wanted to stay because of many friends and the
weather, but I also thought that I had to do something more with my life.
Growing up in Korea, I was a carer for my grandmother and very close with her as my parents both had to work. My life
experiences lead me to thinking about nursing and caring for the elderly and the chronically ill; I thought maybe I should
be a nurse, maybe I have a connection with the elderly. TAFE Queensland SkillsTech TAFE Queensland South West

ill. Student duties in second semester placements also include toileting, bathing, giving injections (restricted area, only
certain kinds), neurological observation, monitoring therapy, etc. in addition to being a carer.
