“I am very new to the online learning platform, 30 years since I last studied anything of this magnitude, and so far I am extremely impressed with Swinburne Open Education. I had great service right from the start with a course consultant, guidance on how to navigate the system and find everything I need to get on with y course.
The interaction I have had with my first trainer/ assessor has been fantastic and I am thankful her all her guidance. The forum to be able to chat with fellow students has been great as it has helped me see that when I have been stuck, I'm not alone.
I have set myself a study plan and a finish date and so far I have been able to stick to it even though I work full-time and have a family at home.
I finished my first module & submitted the two assessments with trepidation but my trainer/assessor marked and commented so quickly that my mind has been put at ease and I am looking forward to starting the next module.”

I know I can do it with other students but then I have to probably reciprocate and be in their role play. That’s the only thing I hate. I just have to depend on others to get the role plays done.”
“Really enjoying the course work but the Placement Portfolio does not match Cert 2 requirements, there is so much work involved that I have thought about dropping out of the course multiple times just due to the portfolio. The Portfolio is not hard just so time consuming and hard to get support from the uni regarding this.”
“As a current online student in Swinburne Open Education I am highly recommended this online platform in terms of availabiliy, reliability, accuracy in delivering modules , reading while learning as an independent student who are running for your own time. Doing some assessment in a series of modules helps me to acquired a knowledgeable skills applicable in my course taken. I have my own capacity and time management in studying in SOE. I still learning....”
