Enrolling in a university will mean that you will probably have to pay fees under the Higher Education Contribution Scheme. There are options to defer payments of HECS if you cannot afford the cheaper option of paying HECS in advance. To find out how HECS works, go to the website http://www.hecs.gov.au/

A wide range of options is available under vocational training. A useful place to start is the Australian National Training Authority at http://www.anta.gov.au

TAFE colleges also provide a wide range of vocational education training and courses. Internet links for TAFEs are listed below by state.
