    Tertiary Enabling Program

    CDU's free Tertiary Enabling Program (TEP) is an alternative pathway into uni (sometimes called a 'preparatory' or 'bridging' course). With TEP, you'll have the opportunity to develop the skills, knowledge and confidence you need to succeed at university. You can complete the free course online or on campus, full time or part time, and in as little as 16 weeks you'll meet the requirements to apply for entry to most CDU undergraduate degrees.
