Save your money and go through TAFE
I would honestly never study through Open Colleges again (Especially not a health related course) You are given all coursework and basically made to figure it out on your own with only one assessor you can depend on, but even so she is only one person and can take a while to get back to you. Very difficult when you are juggling family/life commitments and set out time to study, but when you need help no one is there. There is no functioning "group dynamic" so you cant connect with peers. The forums are totally useless. ALSO When you do hand in assignments that are well done and in a TAFE environment would more than equal a pass. You are deemed 'unsatisfactory' and have to constantly re-submit. To anyone considering doing health service assistant / aged care courses. DEFINITELY Go through TAFE. Much better support, you can talk to them directly and they have a more intimate role in your work placement (from what I discovered )
