I'm in the IT industry, and not thinking to change my career but out of my interests
i wana do a diploma of the following:
electrical / machnical engineering / flooring / carpentering / plumbing
simply because i can't enroll myself to any automotive courses buecasue that require full time commiment and some apprenticeship
and i don't wana do short courses because it'll be very basic, so, what should i do
the course is starting in 2 weeks!! and i haven't enrolled into anything yet

ummm some people u just can't please
The short course is better than knowing nothing at all. If you do one of them then move to advanced I am sure if you contact the TAFE they will give you further deatils.
You know the story about the cake

I wanted to do commercial helicopter then I found out the price is 45k, earn that back quick enough but that aint small change.

i have done some short courses before and just thought they didn't help at all when it comes to prac, i mean i rather do a thorough course and then get a diploma which may be one day i'll be able to use.

electrical! we can never have enough sparkies, once you learn electricity you can carry it over a wide range of stuff.
you only said mechanical because your dads a sparkie and he does everything for you so you have no need to know it ross..
if not id do a building course, ive seen a fair few people do amazing renovations on there own place with the right knowledge. Some of the stuff they build is amazing.
