Step into a career you’ll love

Media Statement

As has happened with other RTOs, VFA has made the difficult decision to cease operations due to significant market changes in Victoria and a shift in the availability of government funding. As a result, we will no longer be delivering courses and qualifications in the region.

We have secured transition arrangements for our VET in Schools students, ensuring their studies will not be disrupted.

The impact on our students and employees is obviously the primary concern. We are in the process of liaising with students across all our courses and seeking alternative arrangements.

The decision to stop operations and the delivery of important qualifications to the region of Geelong has not been taken lightly. It has been our pleasure to support the fitness, education and healthcare industries in the region over the last 20+ years.

Many Thanks

The VFA Team

Nia’s Story 

“There were other places I could study locally, but VFA was more appealing. They offered flexibility which is really important as it allows me to work as well. That’s a bonus!”
— Nia, VFA Nursing Student

Nathan’s Story  

“VFA was great fun and supportive place to learn. The longer I am in the industry, the more I realise just how good the course and VFA staff were. It really did get us industry-ready.”
— Nathan, VFA Learning Massage Graduate

Hannah’s Story 

“I jumped online and Googled fitness courses, and the VFA course was the only in-person course that wasn’t in Melbourne or only offered online. Being quite a hands-on job, I wanted that hands-on experience you can’t get online.”
— Hannah, VFA Fitness Student

Tim’s Story 

“I came to VFA thinking I was confident. I left VFA knowing I was confident.”
— Tim, VFA Nursing Graduate
