Australian Institute of Business (AIB)

At the beginning of my AIB MBA journey, I found it quite challenging to adjust and get back into the rhythm of studying. It took some time to really immerse myself in the materials before starting each subject. However, from enrolment through to classes the level of support has been incredible. Having not studied for a while, it was initially… Read more ·  1

quite daunting but I’ve been thoroughly impressed by the quality of the learning experience. Each subject has provided valuable practical insights that I’ve been able to apply directly to my role. Although I haven’t completed my studies yet I’m genuinely enjoying every subject… the engaging Online Learning Facilitators and the opportunity to connect with other students and the interaction and discussions are fantastic.

I’d especially like to commend the Student Support Learning Advisors, Esma, Jack and Barbara who have been absolutely amazing. They’re always so supportive, approachable and genuinely invested in helping you succeed.

I highly recommend studying with AIB. The flexibility of online learning has been perfect for me while working full-time and the experience so far has been both rewarding and inspiring.

Coming from a corporate background rather than an academic one, beginning an MBA can feel like a daunting step. Yet, as they say, real growth comes from pushing boundaries and stepping outside your comfort zone. From the moment I started this journey, the ongoing support I’ve received from Jennifer Weller, Senior Academic Skills Advisor, has… Read more ·  1

been nothing short of transformative. The progress I’ve made in my writing, critical analysis, and ability to grasp complex concepts in such a short time is a reflection not only of my dedication but also of Jen’s tireless commitment to her students. Her blend of tough love, encouragement, and guidance has made all the difference. Every interaction with Jen leaves me more empowered and motivated to achieve greater things. She is truly an asset to AIB, and the institution is fortunate to have her. When I eventually walk across the stage at graduation, it won’t just be for me it will also be for all the other students who, like me, doubted themselves at times but were able to succeed because of Jen’s support and belief in us. Thank you, Jen, for the impact you’ve had on my journey.

professionals. The program's standout feature is its exceptional adaptability, allowing students to pursue advanced education while maintaining full-time employment. This flexibility is complemented by a responsive online learning environment with supportive facilitators and staff who are dedicated to student success. Being able to earn additional certifications, such as a management certificate, during MBA studies.

Ultimately, the AIB MBA program represents more than just an academic credential; it is a strategic investment in professional growth.

I had a very positive experience with AIB and their learning platform. The course content is well structured, practical, and clearly designed for working professionals. The materials are easy to follow, relevant to real business scenarios, and supported by useful readings and examples that helped reinforce key concepts. What I appreciated most was… Read more

the flexibility of the program. The online delivery allowed me to balance study with full-time work, and the learning system was reliable and user-friendly. Assessment instructions were clear, and feedback provided was constructive and helpful for improvement. Overall, AIB delivers a high-quality learning experience that is practical, accessible, and professionally relevant. I would recommend AIB to anyone looking to upskill or advance their career through flexible, well-designed business education.

The Australian Institute of Business online learning platform allowed me to balance education with family and work life. The ability to adapt to a timeline that suited my needs and to progress through an MBA at a sustainable pace for me means I accomplished my personal goal and serves as a gentle nudge to prioritise professional and personal… Read more

development. The course was practical, with assessments based on what you will need to deliver in your professional environment. The adaptive delivery environment allowed me to access teaching and support staff when required. The program will enable you to push yourself and expand your learning in a supported environment; as someone who had not been interacting with AI, I was able to embrace AI and understand how to use it with academic integrity, and this carried through to my professional work environment. Overall, a fantastic MBA program that allows you to embrace growth as a continuous journey of self-improvement and empowerment.

I have had a wonderful experience with my study skills advisor, Jennifer. I had some questions and confusion around referencing and booked a session with her. This will go down as one of my best decisions to date! Jennifer took the time to explain how to use Scite, and this has significantly enhanced the quality of my research. I had attended the… Read more ·  1

webinars, and while they were great, I needed some extra help with a one-on-one connection. The step-by-step instructions, where I could ask specific questions, not only allowed me to understand the tool, but I have also learned helpful tips that make referencing easier now. Jennifer also showed me how to organize my references and gave me great advice on how to save my references in case I am ever audited. This is something I had not considered, but thanks to Jennifer, I am prepared. I can't say enough about how much Jennifer has changed my experience for the better. I feel she has connected the dots that I was missing, and my confidence level is higher as I move into the second half of my program.

The support that I've received from the entire AIB community (fellow students AND staff) has been amazing so far. I need to specifically highlight Academic Advisor Holly Ashworth. I have been out of an academic setting for 18 years now and was coming into my MBA journey with extremely low confidence in my academic abilities. I have had two… Read more ·  1

sessions with her so far, and Holly seems to have a natural ability to instill self-confidence in people, in me at least. In reviewing my assessments with me, she was quick to point out all the areas where I was hitting the mark before making any suggestions for improvement. This gave me confidence that I just might know what I'm doing here and strengthened my ability to trust my instincts when it came to writing my assessments.

The Australian Institute of Business (AIB) offers brilliant academic skills advisors, lecturers, and flexibility, which makes balancing full-time work and life manageable. The MBA is challenging, but with the app, website, excellent resources, and readily available support, you can study from anywhere. It's absolutely worth it - I just can't wait until it's finished though! Show reply

As a current MBA student, I am enjoying my journey with AIB. The support, guidance and learning materials are excellent. The practicality of the teaching has been helpful for me; all of the assessments can be applied to my current occupation. I feel what I am learning is making an immediate impact on my work performance and preparing me for future… Read more ·  1

opportunities. I highly recommend the MBA course via AIB if you're looking at completing an MBA whilst balancing full-time work and personal commitments.

AIB offers brilliant subjects containing challenging and relevant content. The facilitators are supportive and objective. My studies have provided knowledge creating real-world skills that I apply daily. I can not recommend AIB highly enough to those looking to further their skillset and careers. Show reply

I finished my MBA with AIB back in 2017 and it’s something I still draw on in my work today. The whole experience was really practical, well structured, and designed for people juggling study with a busy job and life. The support from AIB throughout the course was excellent, lecturers were accessible, the admin side ran smoothly, and the online… Read more ·  1

setup made it easy to stay on track.

The part that’s stuck with me the most is the Project Management subject, which build on previous PM qualifications. It was spot on and incredibly relevant to the kind of work I do. I’ve used a fair bit of what I learnt across the MBA, but that project management content has been especially useful over the years.

All up, it was a solid investment and I’d definitely recommend AIB to anyone looking for a flexible, down to earth MBA that delivers real world value.

AIB provides a pathway to success, through exceptional content, to highly educated and supportive educators. Completing my MBA through the Australian Institute of Business has fast tracked my executive career. Show reply

Reached out to enquire about a Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA). Was very detailed in my enquiry. They sent me an email about an MBA which I already have. They called me to talk about the MBA and I explained that I have this. They asked why I wanted another one. I explained what I wanted and was told someone else would get in touch.… Read more

No one called. I exchanged 5 or 6 emails after this with someone who never read my enquiry, never read my responses and kept trying to sell me a degree i already have.

If you can't get enquiry response right how are you going to support me in my study?

Most of their lecturers are busy writing their own research papers to strengthen their academic profile so they can quickly get a university job. They have little or no time for us (the students). Outdated study materials and unclear assessments. Overall, extremely low standard. No value for money. Spend a little extra and get a better recognised degree from some public university.

No flexible on learning – Don't start with this company absolutely disgusting customer service..teacher was corrected in not appropriate actions but they wouldn't formal do anything

Shambles of a university – What you get is a messy dashboard with poor subject structure hosted by lecturers who say one thing and expect another. It's hard to comprehend how a university thats core subject is an MBA runs such a disorganised show. They definitely dont lead by example. If you attend this university expect a solid dose of political bias and an education that… Read more

is extremely disconnected from the realities of the business world. I would only recommend this course to time poor people who want a certificate to put against their name. I would avoid if you want to learn about business and are seeking a genuine education in the field. There is far far better universities you can attend for similar fees. Also watch closely for the cut off date (very early) as they are reluctant to give refunds if you withdraw.

Do Not recommend - Against Canadian Principles and differentiate based on Ethnic background – After a thorough application where they require you to upload all work history, college/university education, passport and two referrals from your workplace they display 1-2 business days response but took them over a month for me. -As soon as you declare you were born in another country, they want English proficiency proof. A college program of… Read more

2.5 years in Canada or 18 years in Canadian workforce is not sufficient. Someone who lived almost all their life in Canada (which is an English speaking country primarily) just because you input you were born somewhere else, they request English proficiency proof.

-They should focus on eligibility for MBA (proper college education or professional work experience) but rather they focus on your ethnic background to embarrass you in asking for English language proficiency from your manager but most big organizations do not do custom letters for their employees but just simple letter of employment.

Do not recommend as they are against Canadian Values and differentiate based on Ethnic background! Second, take’s over a month to get back to you if you choose your starting date to be couple months down the road which is not a good experience especially when you are comparing other universities and need an answer for planning purposes.

First Class Education and Support – Having recently completed my MBA, I am delighted to express my profound satisfaction with the high-caliber education and exceptional support I encountered at AIB. This encompassed the responsiveness of the student services team, who consistently provided prompt assistance whenever needed. Show reply

Loves to increase the courses prices every few months – Loved studying with this school until the constant increases in courses. What was once less then 3000 is now $4800 for a subject. Do not recommend.

Value for investment – I completed my MBA through AIB a few years ago and it was a very positive journey. The programme was more challenging than I anticipated but flexibility of the programme and the support of AIB helped me succeed. The knowledge and insights gained through the programme has helped me a lot throughout my career. Excellent value time and monetary investment. Show reply

Great for the time poor, very affordable and very supportive faculty – I did the MBA program over a fairly extended period of time, actually didn't complete my final project in the allotted timeframe, but a couple of years on checked if I could still do it. AIB allowed me to finish at no additional charge, which I thought was really impressive. I do feel that the MBA experience is as much about the connections and… Read more ·  1

community you acquire during the program, so the pure distance/online experience means this is a bit of a trade off you need to be aware of going in. That stated, as a means to an end for a credible qualification, AIB is a really good option, at least in my experience.

Super practical education – I had deferred my MBA studies from another university as I felt the coursework and lecturers were too “academiccy” for my liking - I felt like they wanted me to be a full time academic rather than a business leader. A work colleague gave a raving review of AIB and after some of my own research into the course offerings, I applied. AIB made this… Read more ·  1

process easy and from there I didn’t look back. The course lecturers were excellent and the learnings were extreme practical <insert chalk and cheese analogy here>… Although it’s always going to be a little tough juggling a family, full time job and uni work, the materials were super engaging. I found myself bounding down the steps each morning eager to put some of the theory I’d picked up the night before into practice. Definitely one of the best things I’ve done in my work career!!
