In vocational study programs in Australia, international students do not need to provide complex financial proof as required for university or college studies. Therefore, the visa application process for vocational study is much simpler compared to other study programs in Australia.
Graduates of vocational programs who have combined study and work experience can apply to transfer to university if desired, with relatively short study durations depending on the field.
