Central Institute of Technology is a Technical and Further Education (TAFE) institution based in Perth, Western Australia. It is 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 April 11, 2016 following a reform of all TAFEWA colleges, Central Institute of Technology amalgamated with West Coast Institute of Training and became known as North Metropolitan TAFE.

The institute currently trains around 25,000 students each year and operates at five campuses in the Perth metropolitan area:

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

Facilities at the main Northbridge campus include an art gallery and a simulated underground mine. East Perth campus, also known as eCentral, is one of the most technologically advanced campuses in Western Australia. The campus is partially powered by the largest single grid-connected solar system in the Perth CBD and one of the largest in the state. A new building at the East Perth campus provides state-of-the-art 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 has resulted in the formation of the Oral Health Care Centre of Western Australia (OHCWA) in Nedlands.

In 2011, Central opened a $62 million 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 houses training portfolios for the key skill areas of engineering, architecture design and building and programs, for the lifestyle industries including high tech massage and beauty therapy treatment rooms.

All of Central's campuses are located in the Perth inner metropolitan area, making them accessible by public transport. The Perth campus is within the Perth Cultural Centre, near the city's railway station and serviced by Transperth's Blue Cat bus.
