Education & Training International

Education and Training International (ETI) is the international marketing and development arm of the Western Australian government's Department of Training and Workforce Development. Its primary mission is to successfully recruit and enrol international students into Western Australia's public institutions: Primary & Secondary Schools, and the ten TAFE WA vocational colleges. Additionally, ETI provides international project services and fosters strategic international alliances with national and international education and training providers. ETI was created in 2004 to consolidate the previously separate international operations of the Department of Education and Training consisting of TAFE International W.A. (TIWA), the International Education Unit and the international operations of Tuart and Canning Colleges.

Education and Training International is unable to offer students on-campus accommodation within the city of Perth. We do have on-campus accommodation at some of our regional campuses including Albany, Geraldton and Bunbury. For students studying in Perth it is recommended that they initially book temporary hotel or hostel accommodation for their first week. There are many inexpensive hostels located across Perth. To find out more details on the locations, costs and facilities of these hostels please visit here.

During their first week in Perth the student can meet with the International Student Counsellor at their college and that person will assist them with identifying a suitable apartment or house located in one of the suburbs near their college. Because we have hundreds of students arriving at the start of each semester it is common for several students to choose to share an apartment together. Alternatively students can visit the Real Estate Institute of WA which lists the details of all the rental accommodation that is available in each suburb.

A typical three bedroom apartment or house in Perth is currently renting at $A350 per week which equates to roughly $A120 per student per week in rent. Students are also normally required to pay one months rent in advance as a refundable bond. Students also need to budget for electricity, gas and phone costs.

Western Australia has a strong economy. It is a resource-rich growth state with low unemployment, providing the opportunity for industry work experience and part-time work while you study. Perth is one of Australia's most exciting cities, offering a dynamic mix of nightlife, restaurants, and cultural experiences, as well as clear blue skies, white beaches and beautiful parklands and gardens.​ Western Australia can offer you amazing travel experiences and adventures of a lifetime.
