  • Definitely, I would like better payment options or discounts for cost of course as it was a little expensive.

  • Many people told me not to study with open colleges but in the 12 months it took for me to complete my certificate, I don't have any complaints. Open colleges are very easy to contact and communicate with if you need help with something.

What I would highlight: Overall, it was a very broad education. However, as a mature adult I found some of the personal development stuff a little over the top. Also, I think the work placement would be quite difficult for some people to organise. I was very lucky to have known someone in a public hospital who was able to give me everything I needed. I received excellent support from my assessor Eve too.
What could be improved: Nothing
