  • Overall, the course was fine and I was able to complete my units at the end. But some of the material hasn't been updated properly so some of the links weren't working. In addition to this, I experienced a lot of miscommunication with the trainers. This gave a hard time sometimes.

  • Easy to navigate through the course and contact relevant trainers and assessors. Had a slight issue with work placement due to staff changes that was quickly and easily sorted out. Was happy with how quickly i received my certificate upon completion. Would recommend oc.

What I would highlight: Initially very little communication from trainers but later half of my course was amazing, I had a new assessor who was very helpful, offering great feedback and valuable insight into the industry. Overall a positive experience, however would recommend more student/teacher interaction.
