Upgrading your qualification?
Save $200 with ACOFE.
ACOFEL instructors still teaching on a superseded qualification (TLI41222, TLI41221, TLI41218, TLI41216, TLI41210, or an earlier equivalent) can save AUD $200 on an eligible upgrade course to the current TLI41225 Certificate IV in Motor Vehicle Driver Training with our training partner, Australian College of Future Education (ACOFE).
To claim the discount, you must be an active ACOFEL instructor and identify yourself as one before or during enrolment — ACOFEL verifies your status against internal platform records. Full eligibility criteria and conditions are set out below.
Discount Offer — full Terms and Conditions
Australian College of Future Education Driving Instructor Upgrade Course — TLI41225 Certificate IV in Motor Vehicle Driver Training — Discount Offer Terms and Conditions.
This promotional offer is made by Australian College of Future Education (ACOFE), acofe.edu.au — an independent Registered Training Organisation and is not owned or operated by ACOFEL.
This offer applies only to eligible upgrade courses for holders of superseded or older driving instructor qualifications, including qualifications such as TLI41222, TLI41221, TLI41218, TLI41216, TLI41210, or earlier equivalent qualifications recognised by ACOFEL. The offer excludes standard full Certificate IV enrolments not classified by ACOFEL as an upgrade pathway, limited practical courses, and any other course unless expressly stated by ACOFEL.
“Eligible Instructor” means an active driving instructor operating on the ACOFEL platform at the time of enrolment verification. “Eligible Upgrade Course” means an Australian College of Future Education course designed to upgrade or transition an instructor from a superseded or older qualification into the current nationally recognised qualification framework, including TLI41225 Certificate IV in Motor Vehicle Driver Training or any successor qualification recognised by the relevant training authority. “Discount Offer” means the applicable AUD $200 course fee reduction under this promotion.
An Eligible Instructor may receive AUD $200 off the standard advertised enrolment price of an Eligible Upgrade Course where all eligibility requirements are satisfied. To qualify, the individual must: (a) be an active driving instructor on the ACOFEL platform at the time of enrolment verification; (b) hold an eligible older or superseded driving instructor qualification accepted by Australian College of Future Education for upgrade enrolment purposes; (c) meet all relevant state, licensing and regulatory eligibility requirements; (d) enrol in an Eligible Upgrade Course; and (e) quote or request the Discount Offer before or during the enrolment process.
The Discount Offer will only be recognised where the Eligible Instructor identifies themselves as an active ACOFEL driving instructor before the point of enrolment and the status can be verified by ACOFEL through internal platform records.
The Discount Offer applies only to new enrolments made on or after 1 May 2026 unless otherwise determined by ACOFEL in writing. The Discount Offer does not apply retrospectively to existing, prior, or completed enrolments except at ACOFEL’s sole discretion.
The Discount Offer is limited to one discount per eligible enrolment and may not be combined with any other promotional offer, discount, rebate, referral incentive, credit, or special offer unless expressly approved in writing by ACOFEL.
The Discount Offer is personal to the Eligible Instructor, non-transferable, non-assignable, and not redeemable for cash, credit, or any alternative benefit.
The Discount Offer will not apply where the enrolment is incomplete, invalid, misleading, or fraudulent; where the applicant is not an active ACOFEL driving instructor at the time of verification; where the applicant fails to meet course eligibility requirements, withdraws, cancels, or receives a refund; or where ACOFEL declines enrolment for any reason. ACOFEL’s internal records are conclusive in determining eligibility and validity in the absence of manifest error.
ACOFEL may verify identity and compliance with these terms and may withhold, refuse, or revoke the Discount Offer in cases of ineligibility, breach of applicable terms or policies, or suspected fraud, misconduct, or misuse of the promotion.
This promotional offer may be amended, suspended, withdrawn, or replaced at any time at ACOFEL’s discretion, and the applicable discount amount, eligibility criteria, and conditions will be those in effect at the time of enrolment. Changes will not affect discounts already validly applied to completed eligible enrolments prior to the change taking effect.
Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any right, remedy, guarantee, warranty, or other protection available under the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2, Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)) or any other applicable law.
