Paul Grech Australia
studied General EnglishTAE Training and Assessment (Online)
This was one of the worst courses I have started. Being fee free it was inviting however there's a reason for this. The amount of self-directed work was comical. I'm guessing the staff needed to justify their ongoing positions as the 'pop ups' hyperlinks were excessive. I completed the course with a private learning organisation in a quarter of the time. This was a Certificate IV, not a Master's Degree
( which I have) I feel so sorry for the current students completing the crap that was required to fulfill the course through TAFE. In hindsight, the course was free for a reason....you work it out!

studied General EnglishCertificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care
This is a terrible course. Woeful. Do not study at QLD tafe.
Instructors are pedantic over tiny issues, completely missing the mark. It destroys any possible enjoyment in the journey of learning.
Materials are confusing and they expect you to answer they way they want.
TAFE Queensland need to change their culture away from pedantic nitpicking to actually being helpful.
This course is demands that you waste enormous amounts of time on 90% useless knowledge that adds very little skill and value to the job of taking care of children
Very stressful bending to pedantic demands of all the requirements.
Indeed a great burden.

studied General EnglishDon't do the diploma of nursing with them
Constantly looking at invoices to see I've been double or triple charged for subjects that I've not needed to do. Or was meant to do at a later term. Communication and actions is extremely poor and it adds so much extra stress to the studies. I've now been accepted into undergraduate certificate for nursing with Open Universities and plan to continue that and then bridge into the degree of Nursing. Tafe is just a waste of time and energy and wouldn't recommend doing anything with them.

studied General EnglishPoor teachers, no feedback
Awful studying with Tafe Online.
I did this to formalise my existing qualifications and help with another bit of accreditation and it was the worst thing I ever did. Stress high on something simple, deliberate nitpicking for no reason other than to be difficult and teachers that don't get back to you, offer no guidance, no structure.
Go to Monash or somewhere else instead.

This is my worst mistake ever to choose study with TAFE QLD. Poorly structured study material and teacher assistance zero. Need to send reminder for a question asked many days ago. The only positive thing is employer see someone is qualified from TAFE QLD. Its better to study from proper institute than TAFE I suggest.

Don't waste your money. This course has the highest failure rate, a poor student teacher ratio and broken equipment. Your final assessments are 30 mins and if you fail you've done your money. Go to uni instead.

Emailed Tafe a week ago asking questions about this course. Received confirmation email that they got my questions but a week later no reply!
Called Tafe 5 days ago. The phone rang out so I left a message as asked but no call back.
Obviously Tafe standards are extremely low

studied General Englishonline study
I chose tafe online child care course because I thought it was so flexible and then started to study. In several months I had to hold it as my mental problem was getting worse and asked to tafe to hold it for several months, but they said it was impossible to do ,so they forced me to quit the course once and I might have to pay full fee next time ,if I want to go back . This is terrible experience, and so dissapointing. I would not go back there any more.
A Receptionist and a teacher were so cold too .

studied General EnglishMedical or on campus
Do not go here if you have a medical condition and need to put TAFE on pause or when something like the coronavirus occurs and they force you to go online when originally signed up to be on campus. Asked to put TAFE on pause until back on campus, they do not allow this and had to ask for a Refund then enrol again to find out they don’t give a full refund as they charge $100 administration fee that wasn’t my fault as I don’t cope online will now be studying elsewhere and won’t be going back to tafe.
