Every TAFE qualification
has a set of minimum entry requirements which you must meet before
your application will be considered.
When more people apply
for a course than there are available places selection criteria
are used to rank applicants on their demonstrated skills, knowledge
and experience relevant to the qualification. The TAFE
Course Information Handbook gives details of this selection
process for each course.

Entrance to all Western
Australian universities (except Notre Dame) is:
- decided at the end
of Year 12.
- based on the marks
you get in your Tertiary Entrance Examinations.
- determined by a Tertiary
Entrance Rank (TER) as a percentile.
- Students are offered
positions into university courses based on their TER.
Notre Dame University
has a different system based on aptitude and interviews.

university's entrance requirements visit the Going
