ITeC’s focus is to provide person-centred learning and support and meet you where you are on your education journey, no ATAR required.

With small class sizes offered in a flexible, inclusive, and supportive learning environment, your unique needs can be accommodated.

Recent ITeC graduate, Kip Patmore reflects, “Everyone should be included in education and employment, no matter who you are or where you come from – everyone should have equal opportunity to participate.

ITeC has been incredibly supportive of my needs throughout my study, and to complete the course in my own way and own time”
— Kip Patmore, Graduate

Alternatively, if you are a business looking to provide training to your workforce, ITeC can deliver training on-site, meeting your unique workforce requirements and business needs.

ITeC partners with local businesses to provide students with a pathway to employment upon completion of the course.

ITeC offers a diverse range of courses, students can gain skills locally with industry-led training. ITeC offers fee free courses for students who meet the Smart and Skilled funding criteria. Some of the courses on offer in 2023 are:

• Certificate III in Music

• Certificate III in Screen and Media

• Certificate III in Live Production and Technical Services.

Students enrolled in the Certificate III in Hospitality have opportunities to put their skills to use at the in-house café ‘The Fox & The Miller’.

Students from all walks of life, with a diverse range of learning needs, are well-scaffolded with ITeC’s holistic and creative approach, “I live with an intellectual and physical disability, (Cerebral Palsy), the staff are very supportive with my needs,” said Kip.


If traditional learning models and environments don’t quite suit you, Illawarra ITeC could be your perfect solution in 2023.
