The Gordon has recently introduced a PTE Academic Preparation Course. Students can learn important elements of the PTE Academic test, which includes listening, speaking, writing and reading, as well as getting them closer to achieving their desired PTE Academic test score.
The Gordon Institute of TAFE is regarded highly and is also a NEAS-accredited provider of English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students (ELICOS).
The English language classes offer students the resources for them to pursue further studies in Australia, improve their employment prospects in their home countries, or to use the language in both work and social settings.
On an average, there are 15-22 students in every class, so that all students obtain individual expert teaching attention they require to develop their language rapidly and, on all levels, – ranging from writing to conversational and reading skills.
Students could become qualified beauty therapists who work in salons, day spas, resort spas, or international spas. They will develop practical skills as well as theoretical knowledge in the fundamentals of beauty therapy, business planning and marketing, and advanced spa therapy treatments.
The Gordon focuses on practical training in an environment that is safe as well as supportive, which means that students will have more hands-on experience and less theory, ensuring that graduates are ready for their jobs.
It has small classroom sizes, with an average number of 15-22 students in every class so that they will get plenty of support as well as more contact time with their teachers. Students will work on various group projects with their peers so that it is a great way for them to get to know their fellow students and establish a strong network of both Australian and international friends.
Industry projects and work placements form a significant part of the students’ course content, giving them the practical experience they need to join the workforce with confidence.
The NCVER report confirmed that its graduates obtain better outcomes in employment than the national and state average.
The Gordon offers various courses in areas including building design and construction,
beauty therapy, engineering and metal trades, health services, laboratory technology, and nursing, among others.
Students at The Gordon will learn construction techniques and methods, site surveying, 2D and 3D software, design techniques, environmentally sustainable design principles, project management and administration, graphic presentation, scheduling and documentation management.
With this course, students will learn operational reporting, BAS statements, preparing budgets, classifying and recording, as well as reporting.
This course is developed for students who want to work as engineering technicians, carrying out tasks including quality control/assurance monitoring, and engineering design.
Several of The Gordon’s diplomas as well as advanced diplomas provide pathways to Deakin University in Melbourne and Geelong. Students can apply for Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) as well, along with other universities and obtain similar pathways from diplomas or advanced diplomas.
Students at The Gordon go on to finish their degrees in a number of fields at Monash University, RMIT University, Victoria University, Swinburne University of Technology, Federation University, and many others.
They can not only graduate with not one qualification, but two, and save money as TAFE courses are affordable.

There are three main campuses for international students - two in Geelong and one in Werribee.
The Gordon offers many advantages in training, and one among them is its purpose-built facilities, most of which are developed to replicate industry environments ensuring that the students will also experience what it will be like to work in the real world when they learn hands-on.
These facilities at The Gordon are being upgraded regularly to reflect industry standards. A sum of greater than AUD 18 million has been utilised in the past five years on infrastructure, redevelopments, as well as equipment upgrades over a number of areas.
The institution also has two venues for training at its Geelong City Campus which are accessible to the public, offering more experiences of real life for the students.
CareerHub is an all-inclusive online platform for Gordon students to find casual, part-time, internship and volunteering opportunities.
