Do not study here
I will agree with many of the reviews below. Dealing with Open Colleges was extremely difficult and frustrating. It was one of the most stressful experiences I have had and I would not recommend to anyone. The main issue was communication and assistance with student support. In the course information provided when signing up for the course, it clearly states that open colleges would assist in finding a work place if needed. I had been rejected by over 25 establishments and filled out a detailed and time consuming form for open colleges to assist me with finding a work placement. The student support took MONTHS to get back to me. They would consistently promise me calls and emails back but I would NEVER hear back from them. It took me having a breakdown on the phone for them to simply ask their supervisor, who told me that they could not help me find a work place unless I relocated INTERSTATE at my own cost. The staff reassured me DOZENS of times I would be contacted and I never was. I was under a huge amount of stress worried that I would not pass my course, and they were unbothered. The only time I received any assistance is if I was physically upset on the phone or extremely demanding and emotional. The information given by the staff was always contradictory, they would always have different answers that did not match those in my course description. Halfway through my course the whole course shifted to another website, there was no online chat support available and the messaging function on the website disappeared. My experience with Open Colleges was highly stressful and had a huge impact on my mental health. I would never recommend to anyone. Please take this review into consideration before giving money to this terrible and unorganised company. I am unsure how they feel okay taking customers money and providing such an awful service.
