Application
There are three ways to apply for entry to Holmesglen:
- Direct application to Holmesglen
- VTAC application
- Apprenticeship and Traineeship application
Please refer to the 'How to Apply' section of each course to find out the individual application process and entry criteria.
Direct application
For many courses, you can apply directly to Holmesglen. The application process may differ between courses, so please contact the faculty directly. The contact details of the course you are interested can be found on the course information page. Please telephone, email or call into the campus to speak to someone in the faculty directly. The application may involve completing an application form, an interview or folio presentation.
VTAC application
Where the application process is 'Apply through VTAC', you must apply through the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre. The application process is set out in the VTAC Guide and you will need to pay an pplication fee payable to VTAC. VTAC Guides are generally available at the end of July, and can be purchased at newsagents. The VTACE Guide is also available online at www.vtac.edu.au. Applications to VTAC can be submitted using the VTAC Online Application. Please be aware that some classes will proceed only if sufficient enrolments are received.
Apprenticeship or traineeship application
Apprentices/trainees and employers should contact the Australian Apprenticeship Centre to register the student as an apprentice/trainee within three months of the commencement of employment. Students who have chosen to undertake their studies at Holmesglen should notify the Australian Apprenticeship Centre of their choice.
On completion of the forms, the Australian Apprenticeship Centre will register the apprentice/trainee on the computer system so that Holmesglen can access the apprentice/trainee details. Holmesglen will contact the student directly with study details and course confirmation. For all pre-apprenticeships, and further apprenticeship/traineeship information, please contact the relevant Holmesglen teaching department.
Selection criteria
Student selection criteria will vary between courses. Please check the VTAC Guide, if applicable, or refer to the detailed course information page for entry requirements, course selection criteria and application dates.
Entry requirements for courses are very different. The most common entry requirement relates to your age, secondary school qualifications, or your work and industry experience. Some courses require no more than a desire to acquire the skills being taught within the course. In most courses, there is provision for application by mature age applicants.
For details on the entry requirements for individual courses refer to detailed course information pages on the website.
