Tranby Aboriginal College free courses

Tranby National Indigenous Adult Education and Training ('Tranby') is located in Glebe, Sydney and has been a pioneer in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adult education, training, and social action for decades. As a nationally registered training organisation (RTO), Tranby offers units of competency, full VET qualifications, and non-accredited skill development initiatives to Indigenous adults from across Australia. Courses at Tranby have changed over time from trade-based skills to governance and legal advocacy. Most importantly, Tranby offers these qualifications in a unique, culturally supportive environment, and these courses are offered free for Indigenous students. Tranby receives funding from the Federal Government to support Indigenous non-NSW residents and support from the NSW Government to support Indigenous NSW residents. This means students do not need to pay tuition fees or travel and accommodation expenses if they live outside Sydney. The RTO does not provide scholarships, but each of the 4 courses that they offer are subsidised by the Australian Government for Indigenous students. Current courses available, both on-campus and online, are: Diploma of Applied Aboriginal Studies, Diploma of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Legal Advocacy, Certificate IV in Community Development, and Diploma of Community Development.
