Which tafe do the subject at?
Also, what is the environment like there, how are the students and your teacher?
I did accounting at tafe for a bit, but the place was just so shabby, so were the students and the teacher. I ended up quitting because i couldn't stand it.
I have a friend's sister who repeated through TAFE, and received and ATAR of 95.
In distance education, you receive material on a fortnightly basis, you do the work, send it back, and repeat. Any questions you have can be directed to your supervisor who is in charge of your and other students...
I don't know about overall since my internal ranks are pre bad lol, but just for externals:
English Advanced: 95
Biology: 94+
Chemistry: 95
MX1: 94
MX2: 92
