avoid at all costs pathetic not suitable for people with disabilities - content is not user friendly and current and hard to access no text book - only e material which isn't e-book navigational friendly - i complained to them and the education dept about them not being accepting in terms of learning for a person with disabilities all that… Read more
this ended up in was arguements.
I even I tried to tell them that the axcelerate portal wasnt suitable for a person with a disability showed them screenshots as to why , they kept pushing me to have meetings at their time instead of my time even though i told them what the problem was .
I was also roodly whinged at by a rep on the weekend through email over an appointment time i made because it didnt fit in with their schedule -boo hoo wheres the kleenex - i also told them that i had since signed up to a third party provider
wpuld not recommended – they are fine for online work. do the course Contant get feedback and do assessments. yep great NOT RECOMMENDED FOR WORKPLACEMENT AT ALL. YOU ASSSESS YOURSELF DO THE TASK GET THE EDIVENCE. ITS DOUBLE WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE. (signatures/pictures/videos. so do all the task which it's a lot then do video calls at the end, as well and they follow… Read more
you around on the phone THIS IS NOT PARTIAL AT ALL. only spoke to supervisor cause i was overwhelmed with how this would work, and she is like give me the phone. other than that, did not speak to host at all (even to check task i did at work) when speaking to someone because you have 20min on a booked call. they had no idea and only spoke about themselves. emails about work placement not supportive and one was quite rude. you cant even transfer units as i just didn't want to do the placement though them.
DONT DO IT!! Go Elsewhere! – I had paid for my course in full, then an unexpected family tragedy changed everything. I requested a refund, but they refused, absolutely refused. They took my $2000 for ZERO work. That I had also completed 2Courses with them, makes it worse! It was life beyond my control--not just a change of mind. Nothing moral about that! Be very very careful. They took ALLLLL my money. They may also take ALLLLL your money.

Challenging Course - Best Choice of Provider – I recently completed a Diploma of Accounting & Accounting Skill Set Course through Australian College. I shopped around for online providers first because of the investment I was making, and I am so glad I chose the provider I did. The Course subjects were very challenging, but also very interesting. The learning format for the online studies were… Read more
excellent. The e-campus learning environment was very visually appealing, easy to navigate and information very well presented. I wanted the option to study offline as well and was able to purchase the actual course notes in book form for each subject, which was an excellent investment that I will be able to use as a library of resources for a long time! The subject matter I studied was hard, and the course is designed to make you really earn the qualification. As a finance professional already, who wanted to consolidate my learning and recognise it with a formal qualification, I can tell you that a lot of the information in the course is extremely relevant to what's out there in the corporate world, which has really added value to me in my current role. Trainers and staff were very supportive, very responsive and it really was a very worthwhile investment in my education. I couldn't recommend Australian College highly enough.
You have rights! – Hello to everyone who has left a review and whomever are currently having trouble with Australian College. I would like to inform you that I was successful with receiving my refund, this was not because the staff where at all willing to be accountable or cooperative but because I disputed the transition through my credit card company/ bank. My… Read more
advice for anyone who is struggling with an avenue to pursue a refund to with Australia College to contact their bank and ask what your options are. You have rights!
As far as their online delivery, I am a teacher working in an international school and I have delivered online materials and their method of delivery is absolutely disgusting. So for anyone who had any doubt about their judgments about if this course was rubbish, then you were right.
I recommend anyone who has complaints about their course to submit a complaint here > https://asqaconnect.asqa.gov.au/Article/GetKnowledgeBaseArticleById?ArticleId=93d5fafe-0711-ea11-8105-00eadaeadd1c&ParentCategoryId=eae5b55e-b9f6-e811-8102-00155d643006
For those who have already left reviews here, I actually used screen shots of your reviews as evidence for my all of my submitted complaints. So Thank you and I strongly encourage you to submit those thoughts and feelings in the way of formal complaints.
My experience communicating with them was horrible and I can understand that anyone who has attempted to complain about their service in any way would feel disempowered and helpless. For this reason I would like to invite anyone who is having trouble with submitting a complaint, weather its advice on where to complain or the writing of your complaint to please reach out to me. You can email me on [Content Removed].
Excellent experience from beginning to end! If Australian College offer the course you need, go with them! – Excellent experience from beginning to end for Cert III Fitness & Cert IV Fitness! Australian College provide an excellent learning platform to work at your own pace (as fast or slow as you like) and provide excellent (and prompt) support and assistance. All staff and trainers were very professional, prompt and courteous. All questions were… Read more
answered in detail without ambiguity. And, there were no hard selling or pushy marketing or sales techniques following initial enquiries (or throughout the study period).
In this day and age where everything seems to be going online, what stood out was the professionalism to answer the phone and spend as much time as was needed, as well as the ongoing support provided to ensure all and any questions asked were fully answered. Again, all without any hard or pushy selling.
The three biggest pluses are: 1) Working at your own pace without being held back, i.e., access to all relevant modules, content and course materials; 2) The quality and structure of course content, i.e., organised neatly and logically; and 3) Fast access on desktop and mobile, i.e., no lag or latency and no browsing/viewing issues on any device.
Lastly, if you are looking to study online and Australian College offer what you are after, definitely look into them and as per this review, go with them!

I am very happy I chose Australian College! – Australian College is absolutely amazing! They helped me during my stressful time. The staff and Director Jaye are very supportive, knowledgeable and helpful. I am very happy I chose Australian College. Thank you!
Highly Recommended – I have completed two courses through Australian College and I can say that the trainers and the admin are very friendly and courteous and are genuinely helpful and wish to see you succeed. The reading material could be updated and links could be checked but overall with a good support system behind you you will be able to succeed. Show details
Australian College is a good school – Successfully completed my diploma in childcare. Great communication from trainers and professional attitudes which made online study enjoyable. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Negative reviews
Out of Date Waste of Time and Money, – Cert III Fitness Material is way out of date and almost patronising. Having to describe in at least 30 words how bicep curls, push ups, etc is silly and a waste. Then recording a video to show someone how to do a push up? I dont have enough time describe the out of date portal. Having to open word documents just paste links for videos, the… Read more
portal is clunky, not to mention the server goes down, just to name a few. If you are looking for a program that you will learning nothing but get a certificate, this is the course for you. If you are looking for a program that is interactive, informative, and easy to navigate, this is NOT the course for you. It is a canned program, that allows training providers to purchase and put their brand on it and resell it, like a HR programs for companies. Just Google Bounce Fitness and you'll see.
Australian College is a good virtual school – The school offers great email communication from both the school’s trainers and admin staff which I found polite and time-efficient in their replies. The school offers reflexible study however I do think that the technical writing of the course’s learning material should be improved. Otherwise, all-in-all, I’ve had a good experience. Show details

Cheap and nasty – I wasn’t happy about unreasonable 14 day cooling off period, doesn’t give student enough time to find out who are they dealing with, and non refundable course fees, so literally they taking money for services they don’t provide and constant excuses to refer to they policy. Most horrible experience, glad don’t have to deal with such a negative, disorganised people. No any benefits for student. Show details

Supportive and professional – Australian College have been nothing but supportive throughout completing my Diploma. They conduct themselves in a professional manner and have been very helpful. I am very grateful to have found Australia College.
Diploma in Early Childhood care and education – I enrolled in Australian College after Inspire Education filed bankruptcy and left me high and dry. Luckily I was suggested Australian College by another student and they were happy to take over from where Inspire Education left. Thank you Australian College.
Fantastic college – Australian College helped me out in a very difficult time and I managed to finish my certificate with them. They have been amazing, flexible and always helpful. I can only recommend studying with them!
Great communication, Easy to follow learning materials – I had a pretty positive experience considering I ended up in a teach out period but managed to get my course done in time, the learning materials were great, communication was quick and the course was easy to work through. I had a couple of resubmissions during my education support course from one particular assessor (well for pretty much every… Read more
unit she marked) even though about 95% of the assessment was correct and satisfactory there may have been 2 or 3 questions that needed a little more info but in general was correct, but the whole assignment was marked unsatisfactory and I had to pay $20 to extend these questions and resubmit, I think this was a little unfair due to the fact that having 95% correct would normally be satisfactory to me and would display competence in the unit.
Other than that a really positive experience thank you, I would choose this college again

Very good course that I could finish in my own time! – The staff were friendly and helpful. The system of learning was easy to navigate and enjoyable to complete.
Great College! – I needed to up-skill for my bookkeeping job, so working full-time this was the best option for me. It worked really well as it was self-paced so I was able to absorb all the course material. However, I struggled to finish as I had a baby towards the end of my course. Owner, Jaye, was so fantastic and helped me get back on track so I could finish… Read more

Certificate III in Education Support – Successfully completed the course, took me longer than 12 months due to getting a job offer after placement, but the assessor’s and admin staff were always very helpful and responsive to emails..

A great way to study – I have spent the last year studying a Diploma in leadership and management online with Australian College.
