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 My issues are with the platform itself and the out of date education being provided (which is NOT the fault of Open Colleges) and the lack of emphasis of WHERE nail products are manufactured for higher safety.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 The constant going on about nail polish when MOST NAIL TECHS DO NOT USE this is out of date (again not the fault of OC) 4.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

Go through tafe

I wouldn’t recommend. Do yourself a favour and go through tafe. The lack of response from some of the online trainers and assessors was a joke. One assessment I submitted. Got told to resubmit. I changed a couple of words and then got a credit. Waste of time. Trainers are barely qualified. Most had below the diploma I was attaining and a certificate 4 workplace assessment and training. Insulting really. Student services were a joke. The number of times I emailed and asked for something and they never replied. Trainers sometimes never replied. So difficult to get anyone to actually call you to talk through your questions. Never again!

This Mum Graduated, what an Achievement!

What an experience this journey was and to have graduated is an amazing feeling and achievement. Being a full-time mum and working, time management was the key but towards the end it became easier as you settle into the course and find your way around the sites, programs and stop making more work for yourself. Being remote meant we had times of technological issues which really made it hard but over all I am happy with my choice and would do it all over again! I know my course will get used, I loved my placement and work has been offered to me. I feel very proud of myself and recommend any one to get a course behind them especially mum's like me getting back into work after children and looking at a new direction we all deserve and can accomplish anything we put our mind to! Happy Studying!

Overall a great experience. Some of the study material is not perfect and the assignments have some mistakes. Top score thanks to the assessor Anthony Wemiss.

Scam alert

Paid thousands for a course that i couldnt even start. The skills I was supposed to be learning were not taught as promised. I could literally do nothing. Huge waste of money and time. If I could give them less than one star I would. Instead of a refund they extended my time. Does nothing as I still need to learn the basics before i could do the course. They promised the basics in the Adobe suite is what I would learn but no.
