Bendigo TAFE is a regional provider of vocational education, training and assessment services, located in northern and central Victoria, Australia. (TAFE = Technical and Further Education) The institute has been in operation in various guises since 1854. The institute was known as the Loddon Campaspe Institute of TAFE from 1987 to 1990, Bendigo Regional Institute of TAFE (BRIT) from 1990 to 2009, before becoming Bendigo TAFE in 2009.[1]
