Central Institute of Technology

Central Institute of Technology was a Technical and Further Education (TAFE) institution based in Perth, Western Australia until 2016, at which point it became a part of North Metropolitan TAFE. It was the equal oldest post-secondary educational institution in Western Australia and the largest TAFE institution in Perth.

Historically it was also known by the names of Perth Technical College, Central Metropolitan College of TAFE (CMC) and Central TAFE. On 11 April 2016, following a reform of all TAFE colleges in Western Australia, Central Institute of Technology amalgamated with West Coast Institute of Training into North Metropolitan TAFE.

The institute trained around 25,000 students each year and operated at five campuses in the Perth metropolitan area:

Central Institute of Technology also catered for 1500 students from overseas each year and had offshore contracts for the delivery of Australian vocational qualifications in mainland China, Hong Kong, Mauritius, India and Kuwait.

Facilities at the main Northbridge campus included an art gallery and a simulated underground mine. East Perth campus, also known as eCentral, was one of the most technologically advanced campuses in Western Australia. The campus was partially powered by the largest single grid-connected solar system in the Perth central business district and one of the largest in the state. A new building at the East Perth campus provided facilities for training in the mining and renewable energy industries.

An alliance between Central Institute of Technology, the University of Western Australia and Curtin University resulted in the formation of the Oral Health Care Centre of Western Australia (OHCWA) in Nedlands.

In 2011, Central opened a A$62-million[citation needed] training facility at 30 Aberdeen Street, completing Central’s redevelopment of its city campus, linking all of the buildings in one education precinct. 30 Aberdeen Street housed training portfolios[clarification needed] for the areas of engineering, architecture design and building and programs for the "lifestyle industries", including massage and beauty therapy treatment rooms.

All of Central's campuses were located in the Perth inner metropolitan area.
