“The course content is of the highest standard and the assessment process is easy to understand. The trainers are very professional and make you feel valued.”
“I have previously studied with mainstream Tafe’s and I did not enjoy my studies. I work full time and I’m a single mother. Self paced learning has meant that I can continue my studies at a pace that works for me, such as during holidays as there is no shut down period. I’m actually ahead of studies and I feel liberated. I will definitely be completing this certificate and then finishing my diploma. I wish I found Swinburne earlier.”
“The only issue i had with the online learning platform was sometimes the page wouldn't load, or it would take a long time to load. Looks like there has been some new imporvements with it. I love the new progress bar where it shows you your actual progress and where you have to meet to finish the course in time. some of the module links didn't work but I was able to find the information online. Overall i found it really good, i did like how you focus on one module at a time and that you couldn't move forward unless you passed the previous assessments. Kerrie was absolutely amazing! I don't know how she found the time to answer any of my concerns or questions but she was always quick to answer and made it feel like it was a one on one course.
Oh there was one module that had music that played in the background when you read it I wasn't expecting it,it scared the living day light out of me it was more funny than anything. Overall it was a really good experience.”
“The application process went very well, with the help of some very lovely people at Swinburne University. I've found that the online learning platform has given me great oppurtunities to work with like minded people and expand my knowledge. The live Q+A's give me the chance to ask my questioons face to face with people who can answer them. I've been doing Certificate II in Animal Care and it has been an amazing experience so far, I've learnt about topics that intrigued me and the trainers and assessors are always willing to help explain the topics in depth and give feedback. I would highly recommend Swinburne Open Education to people looking to study online.”
“Applying for the course and getting enrolled was smoother than I thought it would be. The enrolment team was very helpful. The online learning is great for my schedule, I’m enjoying it.”
“Application process was straightforward and user-friendly with clear instructions provided.
So far, the course has been excellent. The material is well-organized, and the instructors are knowledgeable and responsive. The assignments are challenging yet manageable, and they provide a good opportunity to apply what I’ve learned.”
“From the application process through to being over half way through my course, I have felt very well supported. The learning platform offers easy to follow and well set out directions, the learning modules are clear, informative and offer further reading opportunities to enhance personal education. Assessments are interesting, engaging and practical. The Assessors i have been assigned so far are kind, encouraging and have made the learning experience truly positive.”
“Chris Murphy has been an absolute pleasure to deal with since my initial enquiry about the Cert IV in Leadership and Management. He has been very attentive to my enquiries, and proactive in following up on any additional information I needed that wasn’t readily available to him. His knowledge, patience, and thoroughness are a testament to his professional attitude and a reflection of what seems to be a great culture at Swinburne.
My experience with Swinburne has been fantastic so far and I’m looking forward to settling into my course!”
“Course outlay has been easy to navigate.
Assessors have been an amazing help with any questions and timely responses to submissions.
Check in's has also provided great feedback and advice on how to get the best out of the course.”
“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.”
“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....”
