Australian Online Courses

This course provided me with the information I was seeking. I was grateful for the opportunity to work at my own pace and had regular follow up from the tutors. The course was not difficult, though there was some research and reading required. Show reply

I just finished 3 units of the Social Housing Course and was satisfied with the balance of learning intensity as well as the ease in following instructions. This is an excellent way of taking the course at my own pace, which is important for me. Going over the resources, across topics and completing assessments have been motivating, and matched my determination to finish what I've started. Show reply

I've always wanted to be a vet since I was a child but life has decided otherwise. After a career in management, it is about time for me to change direction and to come back to my real motivation in life, animals. I have recently had the privilege to be accepted in an equestrian club near my place to come and observe horses anytime I want. I… Read more ·  2

already have noticed a few points of improvement, thanks to what I learned in your Animal Behaviourist course. The equitherapy is also very interesting. I've watched a documentary on YT about a centre in Australia that helps young children in distress by reducing the rate of suicide among them, that's just wonderful. After a little bit of experience here in New Caledonia, I would like to come and visit how horses are handled in Australia on this matter. Horse welfare could also be a direction for me to consider. I will certainly register to more courses in the future at AOC.

Total waste of money, the Horticulture course is super super basic, it doesn't not go into any depth of useful information. Total waste of money. Contains plant pictures with black outline that is supposed to be useful. Purchased this to learn more about pests and diseases and learnt nothing that is of value. Very disappointed.

Very basic course – As a new small business owner of a cleaning business, I thought it would be best to do a course to ensure I am doing the right thing when it comes to cleaning and products. I thought the course would of had more content, to cover in more detail about basic ideas of cleaning. The course did give the basis about domestic and commercial cleaning, however for the price you could of learnt this from google. Show details

Waste of Money – I signed up and paid in 2020 to do my Certificate in Import & Export Logistics. When I commenced the course the information was no more detail than what you could search online. I never submitted any modules or completed the course. An Import & Export course with no module on Incoterms is no good to any person. Not once did I get a phone call to… Read more

see if I needed assistance or ask why I had not submitted any modules. They get your money then do not care about you after that. Take your money to a more detailed course that actual gives you more informed information.

Excellent course - relevant and current research with easy-to-read information and videos to aid learning. Great online tutor support provided. Would highly recommend. Show reply

Brilliant Learning Experience with Comprehensive Content! I just finished my Certificate in Horticulture and found Australian Online Courses to be an excellent platform for learning. The content was comprehensive and covered far more than I expected, which made the experience truly valuable. While I would have appreciated a few more videos and… Read more ·  1

interactive learning options beyond reading, the material itself was well-structured and informative. The assessments were challenging in the best way, they pushed me to apply and manifest the knowledge I had gained, which really reinforced my learning. The response times from tutors and the support team were swift, professional, and straight to the point, which made the process smooth and stress-free. Overall, I would highly recommend this platform to anyone looking to learn new skills, further their education, or gain practical knowledge for work. In a time when people are hungry for knowledge, this is a brilliant way to upskill without going through the traditional TAFE or university route.

I couldn't speak more highly of the Australian online courses. The course was able to provide me with a foundation in business law that I needed as a new investor in commercial property. It provided me with the knowledge that I needed in business law. Furthermore, it has motivated me to seek a career in law as a new career. I start my law degree in November 2025. Thank you for starting my journey in the field of law. Show reply

I completed the Goat Husbandry course and would highly recommend the Australian online Courses. I found their communication and support very professional. Overall, I have had a very positive experience! Show reply

Being a builder of 36 years and not having this particular software package behind me, I started learning MS Project Online last July 2024. I then went onto further my studies with AOC and did the course for Project Planning and Scheduling. I am very glad I did so, as it has broadened my knowledge more so and given an edge on how to make recording… Read more ·  1

specific projects scheduling better for the team I work with. The course outlines all specific topics to enhance your knowledge to work within Project Management and highlight scheduling in all ways to keep ahead of the game.

Very good and interesting – I did the animal therapy course and I found it to be amazing and it definitely introduced me to all different types of points of animal therapy good and bad the course was pretty strait forward and gave me plenty of time to complete I definitely suggest anyone wanting to do an online course to go through with it. Show reply

My Avian Adventure – My Avian journey began with the course outline. Nine assessments in all, arranged in perfectly structured order, with excellent course notes for every stage of the learning. The Assessments were challenging and interesting with a constant building of knowledge, always knowing help was a quick email or phone call away. In the unfolding of the… Read more ·  1

course I quickly realised how little I knew and how much I was learning and I was prompted to reach out beyond the course notes to the internet and a variety of "Bird" books. To receive my Certificate of Ornithology was absolutely worth every minute of the work I put in to it.

Enhance your editing skills – For me, the Certificate of Editing and Proofreading Advanced Course offered by Australian Online Courses was a perfect blend of theory and practical application that allowed me to significantly enhance my editing skills. The online course material, and the hands-on assessment drawing on real-world examples, made the learning process engaging and… Read more

relevant. The flexibility offered by the course being online meant I could access the course anytime from anywhere and complete work at my own pace.

This course taught me how to think like an editor. I now feel more confident in my ability to tackle complex editing projects and deliver high-quality work.

I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to advance their editing skills.

Great Learning Experience – I signed up for the Horticulture course last December and completed it in about 50 hours, or about 2.5 weeks for each module. The content was organised in a way that gave me the information I wanted or made it easy to find, which was better than trying to teach myself. The cost was reasonable and the tutors were great. I suggest using "WeTransfer" for large files and an online reference generator for citations. Show reply

Highly recommended – The course covered quite a range of subjects and wasn't too easy or too hard. The content was well presented and easy to navigate, and great support was provided. The Australian Online Courses staff are very friendly and approachable. Show reply

A satisfied customer – The course content was relevant, practical and easy to understand. Support was available as needed and assessments were marked and returned quickly. I would be interested in studying other courses with Australian Online Courses and would happily recommend them to others. Show reply

The Essential Up-skilling – It's always a fantastic experience studying Australian Online Courses. This will be my fourth course completed and have learnt many valuable skills i can apply to current and future role/s. Show reply

Awesome Experience - Team Leadership Program – I had an awesome experience and learned alot. I felt that it was easy to understand and navigate. The course was practical and I can see how I can apply what I have learned to my current role. I liked that the course was self paced however I finished sooner than I expected. I found the tutors really supportive and helpful. Would definitely recommend this course, and Australian Online Courses.

Very Disappointing – AOC are more interested in financial gain than education. I enrolled in a Transcription Editing course. A few weeks later I suffered a serious back injury and was unable to walk. I am still receiving physiotherapy and both my physio and GP have advised that I do not sit down for too long at a time. Obviously transcriptioning requires you to sit… Read more

and type for extended periods so my course was no longer suitable. I contacted AOC and asked for a refund given the extenuating circumstances of my physical ability to carry out the course work. The response was, we can only give you an extension. I explained that my condition was ongoing and indefinite so an extension was no use. The response was that I could just complete the bits of the course that didn't require typing. Ummmm, well what is the use of half finishing a course that I can't actually seek ongoing employment in? I'm sure a half finished course would look great on my CV to future employers? Not! I then asked AOC if I could transfer to a different course that was more suited to my physical ability. The answer was no. Quite clearly, AOC are more interested in taking your money than actually educating students. Extremely disappointing.

Understanding – Due to leaving a DV relationship I had to stopped paying my course as a single mum moving towns and leaving a traumatic situation I forgot to pay and had to stop doing the course as it just wasn’t the time to study and got a email out of nowhere saying the bill was been waived and that I could still do the course!! Something I really really appreciate.  Show details

Highly Recommend Australian Online Courses – I have just completed the Certificate of Dog Psychology and Training. I really enjoyed the course which I found relatively straight-forward to complete and have learnt a lot which has given me more confidence in running my own business. I couldn't fault the customer service I received from the staff when I needed assistance.

Awesome course – I recently completed AOC's Developing Resilience course and absolutely loved it. Everything was easy from the start, including enrollment, payment and asking for assistance. The support staff are professional and helped me with some tricky questions. The knowledge and skills I received are invaluable and recommend this course for everyone… Read more ·  1

(considering what's happening at the moment). I specifically enjoyed content around resilient characteristics and staying motivated. Extremely satisfied.

A wonderful experience – I thought my course was very satisfying as it helped me to find my creative side and to feel more confident helping children find theirs. I studied nurture creativity in children I did not feel my course was difficult but felt it is more a hands on course and when you learn something you want to share it with others. It made me pleased with what i do Show details ·  1

Really enjoyed the course – I just finished the Certificate of Business Administration Virtual Assistant course and really enjoyed it. Learned a lot to start my own business and tutors always available to help whenever I felt stuck. I didn't find the course too difficult. It was challenging in parts. Was very satisfied with the course content. Very smooth enrolment process. Would definitely recommend.

Disappointed and Let down – What annoys me is that they use BSBHRM unit subjects (as i completed a certificate of HR) which are national training units and when i asked are you a RTO the answer was no (fair enough) except on my completion individual records states they are an RTO and they use national framework units. Following this when i asked for the unit breakdown that… Read more

could not be provided because supposedly quote "We specialise in delivering programs that you cannot undertake under the AQF. I call nonsense on this because the units I completed were all AQF aligned, and confirmed from speaking to TAFE colleges and recognized organizations. [name removed], the general manger, very quickly offered a 50% fee return and I am sure she will waffle on regarding this review. Still thinking of complaining to Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA).

My experience of AOC – I was extremely satisfied and highly recommend studying the certificate of Procurement and Contract Management. It has given me further scope to explore in the area of procurement and contracts. The course content was excellent with opportunities to be challenged and, build on my knowledge. The course was very easy to follow and where I needed… Read more

assistance with content the staff were excellent in providing information. I thoroughly recommend the course for anyone interested in this field and, for those who would like to broaden their knowledge.

Do not go through these morons – They always accuse you of something wrong when you know very well you haven't. The staff are rude and always put the blame on you. Never never go through these dogs.

I would recommend the "Prepare Tax Documentation for Individuals" course – I did the AOC Tax Preparation course (Unit 3) (“Prepare Tax Documentation for Individuals”). In summary, this was a good course, especially if you want something immediately available. I would recommend it for an overview of tax preparation. After reading the few negative reviews for AOC (courses not stated), and from some bad experiences with… Read more

other training courses, I wasn’t sure, but the course was online and the dates very flexible so I took a chance and booked anyway (also unhappy customers are more likely to leave reviews than happy customers are).

I’ve now finished the course. It took me about 2 months, but only because I had other commitments. A good half of that was spent on the assessments, which required about 16 pages of writing all up, and some internet research. I can’t really gauge the difficulty of the course because I had some background in tax already. I found it quite straightforward reading. I think it would be hard for a non-native-English speaker. It was marked very quickly and I have my digital certificate already, with the hard copy coming soon in the post. Unlike my previous courses, the tutor didn’t arbitrarily take off marks for unnecessary personal/subjective reasons, such as because they liked a different writing style. The tutors seemed professional and the marking fair.

Tutor assistance: I had a few questions and the tutors replied promptly (within 24 hours). They generally took the time to understand what I was asking, rather than fire off an automatic glib response. I got the impression that student help was taken seriously by my tutors.

Course material: I attended an ITP tax prep class several years ago, which took 2-3 months and was very detailed. This online course was very different. This AOC course was in depth and I found it informative and interesting, but unlike the ITP course it has no details of specific deductions, all the ins and outs of meal allowances, etc. Also not everything that it says is covered, is actually covered. It has a lot of generalised and background information, and the ATO viewpoint on various issues, but no information regarding this year’s changes to offsets, deductions, thresholds, Medicare etc. I was fine with that, and I feel the course gave me something that the ITP course didn’t, which was a useful, background, bigger picture understanding of the many aspects of tax preparation. It would have been a very good complement to the ITP course.

It does cover what you need to know, such as CGT, depreciation, PSI versus contractor, what makes a deduction allowable, GST and BAS statements, offsets etc, but for specific current details you would need to look elsewhere (which shouldn’t be difficult). There seemed to be a lot of overviews of business accounting, which seemed over the top for simple tax preparation, but will probably come in useful. You also need to read around the subject, but the ATO website is good for that. I googled anything I didn’t understand.

Some parts of the assessment were odd. For example the information on balance sheet credits and debits could do with a thorough revamp, or else not to be part of the assessment. Some parts seem to assume you are doing the course in a work environment, and perhaps this is who the course is aimed at. So for example I needed to write to the tutors and ask them to send a fillable tax return for one of the assessments, and it seems slightly unhelpful that this isn’t sent automatically. But this was a minor thing that didn’t hold me up at all, and otherwise I had really no criticism or complaints! It was a much better and more thorough course than I was expecting!

So in summary, the pros: Flexible, online, helpful tutors, good background for tax preparation, generally overall good value and a useful course. I learnt a lot I didn’t know before.

Cons: Nothing much really. Before being fully competent as a tax preparer, you would need to read up on this year’s thresholds and deductions, and you would need to read up on deductions in general, but that applies every year anyway, as the tax rules change every year!

Don't waste your money – The worst online learning I have come across, support is zero, contact is zero, portal is poorly designed and for the $500 they did get from me before I stopped payments got me log in details to the portal, that is it and then they have the hide to have a debt collector ring me as far as I am concerned contract was null and void as the did not… Read more

stand up to their commitment. If they persist in recovering the remainder I will not hesitate in getting in touch with the ombudsman.

Improve your English Grammar - won't recommend for a starter – To start with, the support of the course is very minimal. The turnaround time for instructor response does not follow thru until you made again another follow-up. If I ask several information or verify to correct the way, the punctuation is position or a sentence. It wouldn’t suffice the answer and sometimes you didn’t get enough learnings or… Read more

better understanding. It will be good to know how you construct the grammar in right way rather than giving the correct answer straight away.

It would be beneficial if this will be done in an interactive way of training.

Stress Free, enjoyable, 12 months, easy access, anywhere anytime, highly recommend ! Informative, Thankyou

Don’t recommend – Don’t recommend, no support of communication only money grabbing business.
