"I was already living in Canberra when I decided to start studying and from my research I thought that CIT would be best suited to me and for my choice of study, especially because of the study paths that were available to me.

"I found that the teachers at CIT are very supportive and always had time to answer any questions or to provide advice when needed. The teaching styles are interactive and engaging with open discussion as well as lots of group discussion, which I think is really important, it encourages everyone to contribute, share ideas and give their input.

"When deciding where to study, I found that TAFE SA had a lot more options which meant that I could easily transfer credits if I decided to pursue a specific path within an industry. In hospitality alone there were so many choices and I was able to decide exactly where I wanted to branch out to after starting my study at Certificate III level. I felt that I had flexibility about which path I wanted to follow and I wasn’t limited to my first choice.

"TAFE SA has helped me to achieve my career, my future and a better life."

"TAFE South Australia was my first best friend when I arrived in Australia! TAFE SA supported me through my English course and then I continued my studies with the Diploma of Hairdressing Salon Management. The campus is very conveniently located in the city and with students from so many cultures, I’ve learnt a lot about other people and cultures which is so important to me in my career.

"The TAFE SA course is more than a piece of paper it is a gateway to work. The course that I studied at TAFE  SA was a Diploma of Marketing. Prior to enrolling at TAFE SA I completed a Bachelor of Arts majoring in International Studies. I realised that the Marketing Course at TAFE SA would value-add to my degree. The course was more practical, business-oriented rather than a pure intellectual exercise.  We were taught the essential theoretical frame work and quickly moved on to putting it to practice with group assignments.

"I have been a student at Holmesglen for two years now and my study experience has been a positive one. I started studying the Certificate IV in Business Administration at the Moorabbin campus and I was given good advice and clear explanation on the course content by the course coordinator.
