Kirana Colleges

My studies started off well however 2 months after I started they changed some of the assessments in 3 or more units. I was overseas for 5 weeks and could not complete all of this before it changed even though I’d already started the units. I emailed about my concerns but they said it was too bad. Why is a course that I’ve paid over $3.5K for… Read more

changing after I’ve started? Turns out most of the questions were the same so it was just a complete waste of time to redo the same answers I’d already done. Then I start placement and my teacher forgets to release 11 booklets of information I have to fill out. Someone in admin picked it up but I was only 3 days before finishing placement that I had to rush filling out information and so did my trainer. When I was finishing my last units I was struggling with a topic and sent my teacher 3 seperate emails, none of which were replied to. I emailed a different teacher and got a response telling me to email my teacher, which I explained I had already done with no success! The lack of support in the end meant I’ve wasted 2 months waiting for completion when I could have been working instead. They told me when I signed up that I would have to complete a few role play videos of things like shaving a balloon and handwashing etc. but they did not tell me I would have to complete 20+ videos and have extra people in most of them. I don’t want to be on camera so I found it very hard to ask anyone else to as well.

I had a great experience at KIRANA COLLEGES. The course was well structured and provided me with the knowledge and practical skills I needed to work in the aged care industry. I also appreciated the support during my placement, which helped me gain confidence in a real-world experience. I highly recommend Kirana Colleges to anyone who wants to… Read more ·  1

the greatest strengths of Kirana College is its supportive and inclusive learning environment. The college fosters a culture where students feel respected, encouraged, and motivated to succeed.

Studying my Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing and Disability) with Kirana Colleges has been one of the most rewarding steps in my career.

learning journey and helped me secure my placement, which was a valuable experience.

Thank you to the entire Kirana Colleges team for helping me achieve this qualification. I highly recommend Kirana Colleges to anyone looking to study in the health and community services sector.

First online course and found it frustrating to not have anyone to bounce off. Also found it challenging more so with first teacher that it would take sometimes nearly a week to get a phone call back. So much work to do when completing work placement compared to other students at other colleges. I think overall the course was good, but the work… Read more

placement is where the hand on experience is effective. Would of been good to have my teacher come to the aged care facility and see and access instead of having all those further modules. Not something to be fair I would look at recommending. I would definitely suggest a classroom environment. Maybe that the way I learn better. Again, the ability to find work placement seemed to be a challenge as well. I enjoyed the course content but in reality, when you're in the facility it's different especially when providing reporting etc.

Took my money for an online course then expected me to complete what I can only describe as an acting class. No contact from teachers and staff absolute waste of money.

Misleading advice, financial stress, and poor communication — DON’T ENROL I enrolled with Kirana College in a Childcare course after being advised by one of their staff that this would lead me to a straight pathway to permanent residency after completing the qualification and gaining one year of work experience. This advice was a major factor in… Read more

my decision to enroll, especially given my difficult financial situation at the time.

Later, after consulting with registered migration agents, I was informed that this information was not accurate for my circumstances and that the course was not the best migration pathway. Had this been clearly explained from the start, I would not have enrolled.

I acknowledge that I should have verified the information independently. However, the advice was presented with such confidence that I did not feel the need to question it. I even attempted to clarify this information via email with the staff but received no response.

When I tried to act and requested help with the cancellation/withdrawal by submitting a contact form, I didn't receive any call back or email, which led me to just calling them. And instead of a fair exit, I was offered a downgrade, which felt like being pushed to continue paying.

This experience left me misled, financially pressured, and trapped. If you are considering enrolling, especially for migration-related reasons, DON’T ENROL without seeking independent advice first.

My experience with Kirana Colleges have been absolutely amazing. I got no problems when it comes to their platform. I can easily reach out for my teacher or ask student support team if I encounter any problems with my studies. They are very prompt and professional. Jessica, my teacher have been so helpful in my entire journey. She gave me… Read more ·  1

I truly appreciate everything and everyone who have been supportive on my studies. Thanks a lot guys. Continue to be a blessing to all the students who wanted to set foot on early childhood career.

Student support can sometimes take an extended period of time to reply to emails, however, once they do, are lovely and helpful to chat with.
