In reply to  Mrs McARTHUR (Western Victoria) (20 June 2019)

Ms TIERNEY (Western Victoria—Minister for Training and Skills, Minister for Higher Education):

South West TAFE works closely with industry, like all TAFEs, to ensure that their course offerings are relevant and to a standard that will secure jobs for individuals.

Southwest is a member of the Victorian Racing Club’s Racing Training Provider Network and is therefore connected with racing-related training activity. South West TAFE offers a range of qualifications from the Racing and Breeding Training Package including the Certificate III in Racing (Trackrider), Certificate II and III in Racing (Stablehand).

Under Skills First, there are two other private training providers that offer Stablehand training in the South West. Prospective students seeking a career in the racing industry can access this information or explore any other career options through the Victorian Skills Gateway website.
