I completed my Certificate in Nail Technology and had a mixed experience. The staff are AMAZING and always offer great support. Ellena, the course instructor offers excellent insight and advice around the realities of being a working Nail Technician. My issues are with the platform itself and the out of date education being provided (which is NOT the fault of Open Colleges) and the lack of emphasis of WHERE nail products are manufactured for higher safety. For example: 1. Having to upload a 8-10 minute recording, in mp4 format, that is under 470mb is ridiculous. (It says 500mb but anything over 470-480 won’t work) 2. The overwhelming typos and confusing sentence structure is absolutely unprofessional to say the least 3. The constant going on about nail polish when MOST NAIL TECHS DO NOT USE this is out of date (again not the fault of OC) 4. The lack of actual education around Nail Art is disappointing given the reality of today’s working Nail Tech and what we are expected to be able to do/create Overall, the staff are fantastic but the platform itself? Definitely needs to be improved.

Lots of room for improvement

the reading materials were often set for the American context rather than Australian and often full of typos. Navigating around the modules when doing assignments was clunky. Assessment tasks included menial activities that were time consuming but not a reasonable test of skill or knowledge (eg 'write an email to explain your findings'). Requirement for role plays wih multiple actors was a burden on family.

Highly Recommend

One of the great services of Open Colleges was having quick access to a teacher and get feedback within an hour. The times when the teacher was away they would contact me via email or phone when back at work. This service made learning blockages minimal and thus made studying easy and enjoyable. The mini video lectures, quizes and written material was straightforward to understand and the assignments were all applicable to practical accounting work. A few months after finishing my Certificate IV in Accounting and Bookkeeping I obtained a full-time accounting job. A big reason for this was the quality of the course from Open Colleges was of a high standard and the assistance from teachers was excellent. Highly recommend Open Colleges

Overall was a enjoyable experience

Overall was a enjoyable experience. There were a few glitches in the beginning when my course transitioned to another, this meant that it took a lot longer than anticipated to finish. Staff are very helpful and happy to answer your questions.

The assessment instruction videos where really helpful however they were only provided on the first few of the modules. It would be great if these were available for all of them.

Just work at it consistently

The reading is dry and intimidating, but just push through and jump into the actual assignments. Don't worry too much if you don't fully understand what you've read at the start. It's easier to just start doing the work, and learn by doing. Feedback on your assignments is detailed and usually pretty quick, so the assessors are very helpful to get through the assignments. I learned a lot of practically useful info and skills in this course that carries over to my unrelated job. A positive experience.

When you call open college they don’t let you speak. They are money hungry. They tell you the information you already know and not the information you called them about! They speak over the top of you and they’re dumb as I swear they need to go back to school

Well I agree to continuing the enrollment through the phone with the understanding that I only pay a percentage of what I have used in their online system and I pay the $100 deposit if I don't defer within 7 days of the agreement. Well I already have $465 taken away from me and I haven't even started the course yet and I haven't even applied for a student ID yet.
