As a multi-campus, dual sector tertiary education institution, Charles Darwin University (CDU) is a leading provider of vocational education and training in the Northern Territory. A decision to re-establish CDU TAFE as a distinct vocational training faculty within the institution has had immediate success, with a 22% rise in VET enrolments in 2023 – contributing to one of its most successful years.

CDU TAFE has a powerful mission statement – to transform students’ lives through education. It believes in the potential of every student, and is dedicated to empowering them to thrive in their chosen paths. CDU TAFE aims to be recognised as a leading technical and further education institute across Australia.

One of CDU TAFE’s strengths is its ability to provide innovative, responsive and tailored training solutions. Close collaboration with industry, government and community organisations ensures CDU TAFE’s programs are relevant and can be implemented with immediate benefit to the client.
