The conversation was clear and helpful. The staff explained whether the Certificate III was already available and answered my questions politely. I appreciated the quick response.

I'm 18 and just out of school. Foundation Education's sales rep Joyce, misled me during enrollment about the course requirements.
What Joyce DIDN'T tell me:
The course requires 160 hours of UNPAID work placement
Placements are full work days at childcare centres
Can't be done "after work" like I specifically said I'd do
She kept me on the phone during the entire enrollment - even while signing the contract. I felt pressured to sign quickly while she waited.
Her email said "160 hours of practical assessment work," but NEVER said UNPAID.
When I discovered the truth (18 days later), I emailed to cancel within 3 days.
Foundation Education:
Ignored my cancellation email for over 2 months
Told me cooling-off is "5 days" (it's legally 10 business days - they lied TWICE in writing)
Kept claiming it's about "financial hardship" when it's about being MISLED
I tried to cancel on 2 October. They finally acknowledged it today - 5+ months later.
AVOID Foundation Education. They use high-pressure phone tactics, don't disclose unpaid placement clearly, and ignore cancellations.

Exceptional Personal Trainer

The personal trainer I worked with is truly outstanding. He has imparted a wealth of knowledge during my course, and I wholeheartedly recommend him. He's approachable, intelligent, and a great conversationalist. If you reach out to him, you'll understand why he's considered the best.

A complete scam

A complete scam! Avoid enrolling with them; they will take your money and provide minimal assistance. I'm spending a significant amount on a course I could have done for free. They pressure you over the phone until you relent. This is the biggest regret of my 20s. Save your money and spare yourself the hassle.

Scam alert

While the staff are friendly, the business model relies on deception and scamming. The learning modules contain broken links, and it takes ages to get the Knowledge Questions marked. There are hidden fees in the certificate, like the omitted First Aid certificate. The sales team constantly pressures you about extensions. I've heard of threats of lawsuits against those who requested refunds in a timely manner, leading many to pay the exorbitant fees. If you doubt me, check online; many have shared similar experiences. It's appalling. Don't be swayed by positive reviews; trust your instincts and look elsewhere.
