Across Australia, free TAFE-listed courses range from 1 month to 6 years, depending on the level and study load. A Certificate III typically takes 6–12 months, while a Diploma can take 12–24 months. Bachelor degrees usually run for 3–4 years, and some Master's programmes may add up to 2 more years of study.
