North Metropolitan TAFE is committed to ensuring that people with disability have equal access to our services, programs and facilities so that you can achieve your educational and career goals.

Our Accessibility and Learning Support coordinators coordinate and implement support for students with a diagnosed disability, medical condition or mental health condition, whether temporary or permanent. 

This service is free, confidential, and optional.

Accessibility and Learning Support can assist students with:

• Assistance with the enrolment process
• Familiarising you with the campus, facilities and classrooms
• Working with you to inform lecturers about your needs (if required)
• Alternative formats for learning materials (audio, large print, etc.)
• Adaptive technologies, software and specialised equipment
• Assessment alternatives and adjustments
• Study assistance, support and advocacy.

The Jobs and Skills Centres are one-stop shops for careers, training and employment advice and assistance. Services are free and accessible to all members of the community.

Located in F Block on our Balga campus, the centre provides free professional and practical advice on training and employment opportunities including careers advice, apprenticeship and training information. Support services for employers and businesses, as well as specialist services for Aboriginal people, ex-offenders, and people from a culturally or linguistically diverse background are also available.

For more detail and opening times, see the Jobs and Skills Centres(opens in a new tab) page.

Our 1400 square metre plumbing training facility is one of the best of its kind in the state.

The facility facilitates flexible teaching and learning practices with classrooms opening into the workshop area. There is also an external covered area to practice trenching and sewerage piping, with an overhead sprinkler system to keep the sand damp while digging.

Why not do something for yourself while supporting our students? Our hairdressing salon located in C Block, is open to students and members of the public.

You can get your hair done by our students for a reduced rate.
