Full-time study at Challenger Institute normally requires attending classes 17 to 20 hours a week although this can vary. For the purposes of obtaining Youth Allowance, full-time study means that you are doing at least 75% of the full-time workload of the course or if you are attending a minimum of 15 hours a weeks of face-to-face study.
Most applications for full-time study are processed through TAFE Admissions however there are some courses that require students to apply locally at a Challenger Institute campus (for example, Skipper's Ticket at our Maritime campus).
TAFE Admissions applications can be made on-line or by completing a TAFE Admissions form. Application forms are available at any Challenger Institute course information counter. Click on the Campus Location link to find the nearest campus to you.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
Have you already got some of the skills and knowledge related to the course you’re interested in?
Recognition of Prior Learning involves an assessment by a registered training organisation to see if your skills and knowledge meet today’s industry standards. It doesn’t matter how, when or where the learning occurred, the assessment will take into account your current skill levels and how much you already know. This means that based on RPL or skills recognition, you do not have to re-learn what you already know, and you will find out exactly what training you have to do to achieve your qualification.
To find out more, contact the Challenger Career Development Centre on (08) 9239 8066 or a Career Development Adviser on (08) 9239 8066.
