I can't thank you enough. With the pandemic it has not been easy, however, perseverance was the key motivation for me to reach so far. Thank you, Open Colleges, and to all the support staff.

Fantastic! Enrolling myself in the Diploma and heading down the online path was daunting at first, especially juggling work and kids, but I was pleasantly surprised how user friendly the whole course has been. The course content is easy to follow and manage. You do need good time management and motivation to stay on track, however the student support has been fantastic.

They were really helpful in trying to get me to finish the course as personal issues delayed me in progressing. So those extentions were very much welcomed.
