In Australia, Technical and Further Education or TAFE institutions are those which offer a wide range of tertiary education and training, generally in vocational fields (such as hospitality, tourism, construction, woodwork, secretarial skills, community work), often at a level of difficulty below that of a corresponding or related higher education course.
This is in contrast to the higher education sector, which is mainly funded by the Federal Government, and whose universities are owned by the state governments.
Most TAFE study can count towards attaining a degree of some sort, but allowing TAFEs to fully complete higher education courses and then issue degrees in their own name is very new and further removes the line between what makes a tertiary instition a university or a TAFE.
