All of our courses and training programs are hands-on and tactile. Experiential learning can help develop skills and overcome learning barriers for students who struggle with traditional learning methods.

By naming ourselves ‘Tactile Learning’ we are keeping our hands-on approach at the center of everything we do.

No, we work with schools all throughout Queensland.

Our office is based in Brisbane, but we offer our VET programs to schools all throughout Queensland – including rural schools in central Queensland.

Yes. Our trainers have all the tools and equipment needed to facilitate our training programs. Simply tell us what you do have access to, and we’ll bring the rest with us.

In some circumstances, we also partner with local businesses around the school to provide access to industry current resources and equipment.

If you are an independent student contact the office to receive an enrolment link. 

If you are a part of a course through your school, you should receive an email with an enrolment link or you can head to the course page on our website where you will find upcoming classes. The class name will include the name of the school that the course is delivered at. 

If you are unsure, please contact the office. 

If you are having trouble enrolling, please contact the office for assistance. If you are enrolling through your school, your teacher or VET Coordinator may also be able to assist you. 

Every student requires a Unique Student Identifier to enrol. 

If you are enrolling a VET in Schools program, you will not be required to provide any Identification documents as your school will verify your identity. 

If you are enrolling as an Apprentice/Trainee you will be required to provide proof of identity and residency. The best form of Identification is a scan of both sides of your QLD Licence. If you do not have a QLD Licence there will be additional options for ID during the enrolment. 

If you are applying for a concession, you will also be required to upload a copy of your Health Care Card or other concession card. 

Yes. Every student requires a USI number to participate in accredited training. You can create or find your USI by going to For students | Unique Student Identifier (usi.gov.au)

If you have exceptional circumstances you may apply for a USI exemption through Exemptions from the USI | Unique Student Identifier

If you are approved for a USI exemption, you will need to provide the official letter stating your approval for an exemption from the Office of the Student Identifiers Registrar during the enrolment process. 

If you are paying for your training yourself (Fee-for-Service), we do not accept pre-paid fees over $1,500. For this reason, the majority of our Fee-for-Service fees are paid through a payment plan which is confirmed through the enrolment process. 

You will be assessed for eligibility for Credit Transfer through the enrolment process. If you know that you would like to apply for Credit Transfer from previous studies, you will have to provide Tactile Learning access to your USI transcript. You can do this by following the instructions on this link: Give access to providers | Unique Student Identifier (usi.gov.au)

You can sign into the Learner Portal through the “Sign In” button on our website header or through this link: Login

You will receive an email from your trainer before your first day of training outlining what you are required to bring. However, all students will need to bring a device to be able to access the Learner Portal. 

There is compulsory work experience within our Hospitality courses but for all other courses work experience is optional. 

For Apprenticeships/Traineeships paid employment is a compulsory requirement. 

Our training is available to ALL students. However, it is important to notify us of any disability and/or learning barrier in the enrolment process to enable us to make sure we can provide the additional support required.

If you have substantial needs, please contact our office to discuss your specific circumstances.

Your first point of call for requesting additional support is to contact your trainer. This is for the reason that your trainer knows your class-specific requirements and your personal circumstances and can best provide support or refer you to someone who can. 

If you are part of a school course, you should also discuss your support needs with your teacher as we work closely with the school to provide additional support.

If you are unable to discuss this with either your trainer or teacher, please contact our office for assistance. 

In the bottom right-hand corner of your Learner Portal, you will see a question mark (?) symbol. If you click on this you will be able to submit a help request to our support team. We will respond promptly to your request with assistance. 

As a first point of call it is best for you to discuss your circumstances with your trainer and your school teacher. We are often able to accommodate making adjustments to help you complete your course. If you are not able to complete and will withdraw from the course your trainer will notify our enrolment team. 

If you are unable to discuss this with your teacher or trainer please contact the office to discuss your situation. 

If you are currently in one of our courses notify your trainer that you want an apprenticeship/traineeship and they can assist. 

If you are a past student you can send your details through to our office and one of our enrolment team will contact you.
