Marcus Clark Building

Beautiful outlook. Studying here may be a shorter route to get your bachelor title. After a 2-year TAFE diploma course, you can get direct admission to the third year of a relevant degree course at a uni. The tuition fees for the first 2 years at TAFE are relatively much more cheaper. Consider.

The origins of the building at Ultimo can be traced back to the Sydney Mechanical School of Arts in 1833.In 1865, the Mechanical School of Arts introduced the first course of vocational education in Mechanical Drawing.Building A, which was the original site of the Technical College, is designed in the Romanesque Revival style. Its walls are decorated with stone carvings of Australian flora and fauna which were designed by the French artist Lucien Henry.Turner Hall was designed in the Queen Anne Style and was originally intended for Sydney Girls' High School. Inside the stairwell, there are four coloured stained glass windows depicting various industries: architecture, printing, commerce, and engineering.The College started as an adjunct to the School of Arts but was soon taken over by the colonial government. It moved to its new headquarters in Ultimo in 1891. The Technical College grew out what was then the Technical and Working Men's College.The location in Ultimo was also home to many other institutions at the time such as the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), University of New South Wales (UNSW), and Sydney Boys High School before they moved to new locations.The Ultimo site also hosted the Technology Museum. It opened in 1893 and was a popular attraction. In 1988, the Technological Museum moved into the old Ultimo Powerhouse and was renamed the Powerhouse Museum.The college played a big role in World War One in the retraining of returned service personnel by offering repatriation courses to disabled services personnel.Since the war, Sydney TAFE has grown by offering training and courses for technicians and in areas such as dental care, biomedical and office administration. Courses for development in individual talent, leisure courses, and special programs to help students overcome difficulties in various areas have experienced great growth. Sydney Technical College transformed into the Sydney Institute of Technology, and then in 2000, TAFE NSW - Sydney Institute.TAFE Sydney has been commemorating its 125-year vibrant history by providing free guided history tours.TAFE NSW has grown to have over 500, 000 enrolments.

Belind Fatcher is a fantastic teacher. She understands that effective learning is the foremost concern of students studying in the course. Belinda goes beyond to ensure the course content is effective so it supports the performance of the students with fewest steps in the shortest amount of time and at the same time allows the students to achieve proficiency and professional learning with the assessments. You will be grateful to have Belinda teaching your class.

I studied Building Design: overall experience was disenchanting. The course is basically speed learning 4-5 pieces of CAD software. Teacher's lost assignments (three), staff politics affected the teaching quality, and overall lack of time spent on basic design principles - semester projects consisted of replicating someone else's design (and not good one's). Disengaged students would describe the group. I'm now at Uni doing Architecture and the building design students from Victorian TAFE's are way ahead of both the students from Qld & NSW.

Recently completed web dev diploma course at Ultimo, teachers are knowledgeable, but teaching material are not up to date and without learning 'mobile first' or media query technique, the course is so basic that pretty much you can learn beyond it from MOOC. However, software and hardware resources are excellent to facilitate students' learning. Also, it is the best pathway to University or for existing industry professional to keep their knowledge up to date perhaps, or even for retired people to learn new skills to keep their brain up and running. TAFE is still great for learning hand-on skills if you got time after work.

Great building dating to the 1890s and early 1900. A great example of brick columns, stonework, copper roof, lead work on parapet, arch work. Classic stretcher/header/queen closer brickwork.

ia. The teachers were amazing. The course was more challenging than any university. So proud to have attended this TAFE college. Thank you

Very bad customer service, was asking for course information and they give you grumpy annoying looksFront office should be helpful and have excellent customer service skills, people would be hesitant to apply here if treated like that

The worst service ever!!! No recommend at all...I registered and paid a course 3 months ago but it cancelled 1 week before it started without a good reason. I requested for a refund but nothing happened. I send a request on website and was given some fake numbers. I called administration office but no one wanted to help. No one picked up my calls or let me holding the line for 20 mins then hang up.I don't want to deal with TafeNSW any more what they do just make me angry. I just want to get my refund.
