Open Uni's have business degrees from Monash and Swinburne and a commercial/sporting law one from, can't remember. Seriously, spend the next year moving forward, not re-doing something that may or may not have an effect.

Some TAFEs offer a Statement of Attainment in Children's Services which contains subjects from the Cert III, giving you a leg up to getting into it in the next semester, proves you are capable of doing the work and have an interest in the area. OTEN does some Children's Services courses by distance.

If you don't get in, you can do a full-time or part-time Bachelor of Communications by distance from Griffith University (via Open Universities) and there's no quotas for numbers of people or entry requirements.

UniSA and CDU both offer nursing by distance (you have to attend for a couple of days per year for pracs) and also Open Universities run their program through UniSA (no entry requirements but there is a quota on the number of places so there is some competition like from people who have done...

Have you looked at Open Universities' Bachelor of Applied Science in Biotechnology course (degree actually given by RMIT)? There are no entry requirements or quotas, so they can't say no to you. There are residential schools (on-campus bits) a couple of times a year in Melb for a few days but...

Health studies is a big field - thought about physio, occupational therapy, pathology, diversional therapy, optometry, dentistry, radiology/radiography, sports science, podiatry, etc? Not great wages but there's always nursing. You said you might get about 70 UAI? That's the cut-off for...

TPC & HSC are not always the best predictors of ability at university level. Try Open Universities as you are doing uni level work and can greatly help you get the foot in the door of an on-campus position. What are you interested in?

High drop out rates from HSC at TAFE/TPC is often due to the same problems causing them to leave High School (lack of respect for teachers, problems with peers, pregnancy, drugs, victimisation, subjects not being available/fun/relevant enough) are apparent in TAFE, just in different forms...

And why can't you do it through New England's Flexilink program? http://www.newengland.tafensw.edu.au/external_studies/files/6502_Course_Information_Sem2_2007.pdf

Umm, yes it is important. As part of the Australian Qualifications Framework, a Cert IV has more in-depth, looking-at-the-bigger-picture skills than a Cert III. The IB is different, so is the American college diploma system, but as far as TAFE and Higher Education in Australia are concerned...

Ring your nearest TAFE and ask to talk to the General Education section or else check out the actual Institute's site, has more on it than the TAFENSW site. Try OTEN for TPC/CGVE (love the acronyms!) by distance - you still get a TAFE certificate at the end. If you really want to do uni...

My two cents... TAFE is about skills that are usable right now, can walk into a job and hit the ground running. Uni is about "Higher Learning" so that you have the ability to survive in that industry in the long term - managerial level skills, why things are done, criticising of the past...

I've had uni grads in accounting not even know the first thing about MYOB. A lot of uni's don't teach it as by the time they graduate, their skills are outdated. Some accounting grads think that they are beyond doing bookkeeping, but often you still have to work your way up the ladder from the...

There are ways around it, like going through Open Universities (the actual degree are given by RMIT, Monash, Swinburne, UniSA, Griffith etc). No HSC required. Even if you do a few subjects with them, it proves you are able to do uni level work, bettering your chances of getting an on-campus...

Do your Business or IT degree through Open Universities (RMIT, Swinburne, Monash etc)... No HSC needed. Can do it twice as fast as an on-campus degree too.

Do it through OTEN so that you bypass the personality lottery of on-campus TAFE. Or else get a degree through Open Universities where you don't even have to have done your HSC.

I'm doing, god knows what, with Open Universities. The 4 study session thing is great as long as you don't burn out - do a degree in half the time!

CSU has a Bachelor of Arts (Graphic Design) by distance.

Have you thought about Gaming at CSU?

Bring your car - Wagga campus is a 10-15 min drive from the shopping centre (and you can't easily walk because the road out has one of those pedestrian-free bridges). So if you are buying meat - you either have to scam a lift from someone, or have it go off by the time you wait for the bus to do...
