Skills Training Australia Questions & Answers

10 out of 11 users gave STA 1/5 stars!!! There is a very good reason for this. 'New management' has made things worse not better. Maureen was much better in the role of chief educator. Sandra's track record speaks for itself if anyone cares to do the research. She has left a trail of destruction everywhere she has been and is doing the same at STA. They now really deserve to be called Shonky Training Australia. Stating a 'mission' is one thing but the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Take my advise prospective students, don't waste your money on these cowboys and look elsewhere to more professional providers.

I am going to review college as a realtime student from city campus. But my friends study in Knox campus so i can tell few things about that campus as well. Its a really good college for international students, as they have tie ups overseas. Domestic students have choices as they can use govt subsidies elsewhere as well. but knox campus is amazing for local students. I have not found issues with old and new management. Few tips are- There compliance system is not student oriented, which should be as they are consumers. In an adult education system here, few teachers treat students like primary school. They dont open up with students but scare them to read power points and they don't share clinical experience and expect student to learn what is in slides. Mr Adam and Mr. Wayne are great assets to college. There clinical knowledge and understanding of students as a teacher is marvellous. I cant forget what they taught me. Admin wise Natasha is doing great job on her part, she is always understanding, always available doesn't matter email or phone day on or off she is always with students to listen to them. She is doing excellent job in her both roles as placement coordinator and student welfare officer. Monique on reception is always calm and helpful. Sandra is always approachable by email or in office as possible. She is uniting a good team of teachers but things take time. Teachers are great asset in long term education business, i think Adam and Wayne going to help in keeping the boat sailing. Teachers must understand that every student is not same and all students are at only a learning stage. I think Sandra is doing great effort to keep up the standards. This is not a college where you think you wont come or take day offs and will become a nurse, its a professional college and i am sure by the time you finish course you will be a professional nurse , this is real nursing college teaching real skills. So my advise for domestic students is to join Knox campus as it saves them from complaining about international student who are learning to be Aussie. And being fair it take time. You can tell them to speak in english and follow aussie social rules but they are still learning that as well.

Does anybody believe MRNurse is actually a real student?

I think this is either Sandra or Natasha. Who calls themselves MRNurse (manager perhaps?). Do you think people were born in a hay stack? Totally inconsistent with majorly of reviews as well

The Mickey Mouse & red back logos attached to commenters above made me chuckle...highly appropriate :)

If I was you I wont be attending that school. You need to do some research. There is other school away better than school. They only in it for the money. Just done get trap.

Thank you for your suggestion. I will keep in account of that. By the way were you at STA before ?

Waste of money and time, they’ll leave you disappointed and frasturated.
