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 My issues are with the platform itself and the out of date education being provided (which is NOT the fault of Open Colleges) and the lack of emphasis of WHERE nail products are manufactured for higher safety.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 The constant going on about nail polish when MOST NAIL TECHS DO NOT USE this is out of date (again not the fault of OC) 4.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

Open college gives everyone an opportunity to gain knowledge and skills for any jobs and hobbies you want to do in your life time, because I believe anyone can do it, but first we need to motivate our ourself life is challenging

I enquired about this course but they do not spell out the costs - ad it is confusing. I have decided to do this with a University where I can at least obtain HECS support. I do not know why these organisations always avoid COST?

Great trainers, course needs updates

I enjoyed the course, but a LOT of the links and course content hasnt been updated in years and is missing. Some complaints in the comments section indicate its been like this for over 2 years. The trainers are awesome and their feedback on assessments was amazing!!! This picked the score up to a 3

I had a great experience with Open College. I did need extra time , but this was taken into consideration due to my circumstances and having completed the course I think it was a great achievement. I would advise asking questions and using resources provided by Open College. Reading the comments posted can help, but if in doubt ask.

my experienced with open colleges was good, I was expecting more feedback and buddies to share knowledge, but overall was ok. Teachers and trainers responses were quick. Support services need improved and also the assessments some has trick questions or the teachers made difficult and some have mistakes.

Open colleges has been helpful and understanding throughout my diploma. With any queries I had they went above and beyond. My assessors during the work placement period were talkative and made my nervous self feel comfortable. I went through my first pregnancy,early motherhood and full time work through this course and open colleges was more than accommodating to my unique situation in life. I would highly recommend choosing open colleges to advance your career particularly if you feel like you have to squeeze study into an already busy life!

overall it was a good experience

overall it was a good experience. I think that the last 2 modules of the course were review modules where assessments from the previous 10 modules were duplicated and therefore unnecessary work to be completed.
