National College of Vocational Education
Registered Training Organisation & International School
Our Brisbane campus is conveniently located in South Brisbane, right between South Bank, our city’s premier lifestyle and cultural destination, and the wonderfully quirky suburb of West End.
Our modern, air-conditioned and purpose-built classrooms contain state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment and ample space to ensure a comfortable, safe and welcoming learning environment.
Our resource centre is a quiet study zone for students. It features an extensive library of books, videos, DVDs, magazines and textbooks – all of which are available for short-term loan.
We have a dedicated student computer lab and a number of student PCs located across our campus. Students can also make use of our FREE internet access and FREE WiFi while on campus.
Our onsite swimming pool is available for use by students during breaks and after class, between 8 am and 7 pm weekdays. It’s a great place to relax and cool off or swim some laps. The pool is situated next to the courtyard.
Our lunch room, with fully-equipped kitchenette, including microwaves, a refrigerator and coffee-making facilities, makes lunch times easy. We also have vending machines on site, and comfortable breakout areas and an outdoor courtyard with seating for students to sit, eat, chat and relax during breaks.
We offer students a range of opportunities to get social with friends, both new and old, through NCVE Social, our social calendar. We host BBQs by the pool, visits to local markets and Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, cultural centre days and shows, bike rides around Brisbane, walk and talk groups, weekly NCVE Chatsessions, and abseiling and rock climbing activities at Kangaroo Point. We also organise day trips and weekends away to local tourist destinations including the Gold Coast, including its theme parks, Currumbin Valley, Mt Tamborine, Springbrook National Park, Noosa, the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Moreton Island and Fraser Island.
Here’s an example of our NCVE Social Events Calendar.
All students are issued with a student card which entitles them to discounts at participating local shops and discounted tickets at participating cinemas.
Our regular information sessions and career days help students who want to proceed with further study in Australia via our pathways programs. We also provide individual career counselling to students looking to continue with further study.
Student visa holders may be eligible to work part-time, for up to 20 hours per week, while studying in Australia. Our Job Preparation sessions assist students to prepare a resume, search for jobs, prepare for an interview, apply for a Tax File Number, apply for jobs and find suitable employment.
We can accept deliveries for students at our Brisbane campus. Please speak with our Reception staff to find out more.
