On 1 November 2012, TAFE SA became a statutory corporation, separate from the SA Government's Department of Further Education, Employment, Science and Technology, under the TAFE SA Act 2012.[1]
In December 2017, following a random audit of TAFE SA courses by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA), 14 courses were affected for small discrepancies in assessment, affecting 630 students who were individually case-managed. The Weatherill government and Education Minister Susan Close announced that the government would cover expenses for affected students.[2][3][4]
The acronym TAFE stands for Technical and Further Education and is used and recognised nationally throughout Australia.
TAFE SA is a registered training organisation (RTO) and Institute of Higher Education under the jurisdiction of the ASQA and the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA). It is South Australia's largest vocational education and training provider, and provides training from entry-level certificates to Bachelor's degrees across the state of South Australia. As of 2024[update] it has been awarded re-registration by ASQA as an RTO and Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students provider for a period of seven years. This is the longest accreditation period to date.[5]
