Great Southern Institute of Technology

Great Southern Institute of Technology has helped students set and reach their goals, and provided them with the confidence and skills they need to succeed, for 40 years. From our home in Albany we offer a broad range of qualifications and skills development courses to regional, online and international students.

Established in 1974, Great Southern Institute of Technology is the largest training provider in a region that covers an area of 40,500 square kilometres. The institute's capacity for training stretches right across that region operating at more than 10 sites, including four major campuses.

The primary campus is located in Albany, and additional campuses are in Denmark, Mount Barker and Katanning. Albany is the region’s administrative hub and accounts for 60 per cent of the region’s population of 54,000.

All hinterland campuses offer a broad range of qualifications, as well as professional and skills development courses to suit local community and business needs.

Nationally Accredited Training
Nationally accredited qualifications are offered from Certificate to Advanced Diploma level and many feed in to university pathways. Alternative study options are made available through external studies, delivery and assessment in the workplace, skills recognition, recognition of prior learning and through a blended delivery approach that offers convenience and flexibility.

The institute provides vocational education and training products within the Australian Qualification Framework, consisting of training packages and courses accredited with the Training Accreditation Council. Customised fee-for-service training is also available.

A Customer Service Centre operates at the Albany campus, amalgamating all student services into one centralised and easily accessible facility.

Regional Context
Great Southern Institute of Technology provides 95 per cent of the region’s vocational education and training delivery. The institute also delivers several VET programs with statewide and international reach.

This has been achieved through sound planning and strategic processes, and maintaining a client-driven culture where internationally recognised training services are developed locally in consultation with industry and agency partners.

This intimate context demands that the institute engages meaningfully with the community at all levels. It requires creative leadership and well-timed development and delivery of market-driven products and services.

In many ways, the institute's achievements are the fruits of its capacity to steward, respond, innovate and contribute proactively in the regional community.
