Ready to start your QTAC Application?
Before starting your QTAC application, it’s important to be familiar with the following:
Create an account: Create an account with a personal email and a secure password. Only you can authorise a contact to access and support you in your QTAC Application experience.
Personal Information: Be ready to provide your personal details, educational background, and (if required) any relevant work experience.
Course Preferences: You can see courses inside the application portal. Decide on the courses you wish to apply for and arrange them in order of preference.
Documentation and Fees: Gather necessary documentation (some QTAC can obtain but others you will be required to supply (see Documentation) and be prepared to pay the application fee online prior to submitting your application.
