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 My issues are with the platform itself and the out of date education being provided (which is NOT the fault of Open Colleges) and the lack of emphasis of WHERE nail products are manufactured for higher safety.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 The constant going on about nail polish when MOST NAIL TECHS DO NOT USE this is out of date (again not the fault of OC) 4.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

Good course content

All good to deal with. At the start I did find it harder to get a response from some lecturers but later on this improved dramatically. The course content itself was really good but I am surprised they use ‘reckon’ software as I have found it to not be as popular as Xero or even MYOB.

appreciation.

I am so glad I chose to complete my Diploma Of Nursing with Open Colleges. I knew right alway from the moment I stepped on campus that this is where I would begin my nursing journey. The campus is clean, and all the staff and students are friendly, there was a supportive community atmosphere. The simulation labs are so well made with plenty of equipment to practice your skills. I had the most amazing nursing lecturer, she didn’t just teach me theory but she made me work ready. She was always willing to allow me to book the lab for one on one assistance and provided me with feedback. All the good feedback I received while on placement was a reflection of her teaching. Nurses I have worked with while on placement were impressed by the level of knowledge, particularly with medications and clinical skills. Thank you Open Colleges for having me as one of your students, I absolutely recommend anyone who is passionate about nursing to apply with open colleges.

Horticulture Cert II course

I loved my Horticulture Cert II course. As a mature aged student, I found it informative and sometimes challenging. The support and feedback throughout the course was really good, and actually improved along the way with the introduction of “Chat Support” and audio feedback for assessments. The only downside was I never received the Combination meter which was supposed to be part of the course materials.

Dissatisfied Student

Lacks student support and miscommunication between staff makes it difficult to know what is expected. Inconsistent between assessors and their expectations of assignments. I have done a number of online certificates and even online at university, I understand the commitment and determination it takes to study online, open colleges is by far the worst experience i have had studying online. The requirements of work placement were not discussed in any detail and finding an appropriate workplace during my course was extremely difficult.Finding placement is completely up to the student and open colleges does not help. The requirements of work placement defeated the purpose of online study, if i had known the expectations in regards to this i would have looked into alternative options to study Beauty Therapy where i would gain more practical experience, with support.
