Testimonials

  • Kirstie (April 2010)

    I was impressed at the prompt replies I always received when I had a question via email and phone.

  • Helen (July 2010)

    Everyone and everything was very helpful and obliging especially considering I did my course via correspondence (country Victoria).  There was always help and support at hand whenever I needed it and my assessments were attended to and marked quickly.

  • Barbara (September 2009)

    I can recommend doing the contact course to anyone who has the time to go on-campus, as everything was set up to help us to learn.  The venue is just amazing, with the river and beautiful walking tracks all around.  The support was awesome.  All of the lecturers offered help and provided contact details in case we had difficulties understanding the assessment requirements.  Everyone was very professional and thoughtful.  It really makes a difference when people strive to return assignments really quickly and provide lots of great individual feedback.
