I completed my Certificate in Nail…

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 My issues are with the platform itself and the out of date education being provided (which is NOT the fault of Open Colleges) and the lack of emphasis of WHERE nail products are manufactured for higher safety.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 The constant going on about nail polish when MOST NAIL TECHS DO NOT USE this is out of date (again not the fault of OC) 4.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

Review from a mature aged student

I found 90% of the course to be excellent and have gained a lot of knowledge throughout the course. Your assessing team are awesome and give excellent help. I found support give very timely responses to queries. The one thing I feel needs improvement is letting students know in advance about the number of videos they will have to submit throughout the course. It would help to know what type of Video editing software there is available such as VideoPad and a few tips on editing would also help. It wasn't until half way through the course that I found suitable software and this made the course a lot easier to manage.

The worst online learning platform

The worst online learning platform. They are money hungry and do not care about their students. I requested to leave my course after already paying $2000, stating that they could keep what I had paid I just couldn’t afford to pay anymore because of financial hardship; and they refused to let me do so unless I claimed bankruptcy. They encouraged an 18 year old to claim bankruptcy if I wanted to stop any further payments. Absolute disgrace of a school, as my parents who are both pensioners had to help me pay the rest of my course that I didn’t even get to complete. Shame on you open colleges.

Wonderful experience

The cert IV in Allied Health Assistance was very enjoyable! Open Colleges presented the material well and has structured the course so that you could manage your progress effectively. There was always support when I needed it, and their online portal made it easy to connect with other students doing the course.

Insightful and helpful

Insightful and helpful, learnt a lot throughout the course. The teachers helped as I needed it which was great although on one of my assessments I believe I was marked incorrectly as there was no real constructive criticism other than that I would recommend open colleges.

My experience with Open Colleges

Open colleges and all the Early childhood education trainers and assessors assisted me during my journey. I am not a disciplined person and I also I was not sure about my career goals after moving to Australia. However I found with them, motivation, flexibility and empathy. Specially with the assessor Georgina Antoune, who sent me messages that made me keep going and guided me with value knowledge. I already recommended the course for a friend who is having a similar great experience and I will continue to recommend Open Colleges as it is a platform that looks to each student considering and listening to their history and conditions. I felt respected, supported and motived to create amazing paths to my career. Thank you to all Open Colleges team.
