Tranby Aboriginal College free courses
Tranby National Indigenous Adult Education and Training (‘Tranby’) is located in Glebe, Sydney. The organisation is a function of the Co-operative for Aborigines Limited and has been a pioneer in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adult education, training, and social action for decades.
Tranby, as a nationally registered training organisation (RTO), 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.
Please note that this RTO does not provide scholarships, but each of the 4 courses that they offer are subsidised by the Australian Government for Indigenous students.
