The teachers were amazing, I want to say that before I say anything else, because they were always so helpful and lovely to deal with.
The course itself wasn’t. For a Cert 3 that is supposed to be entry level, it was not.
I have worked in the field for 2 years and if I hadn’t been, there is no way I would’ve been able to complete it.
The work was astronomical! It was far more than any of my CERT 4 qualified work colleagues had to do when they completed their courses.
Each module required multiple roleplays which were hard to get done as you required other people to step in and help.
When getting to work placement I thought I was on the home stretch but it unlocked about 9 or 10 modules you then had to go through and complete whilst trying to work.
It was near impossible for me to do both. I had to complete 90% of my work placement out of hours. Absolutely ridiculous amount of work.
I wouldn’t recommend anyone doing this course through Open colleges unless you already have some knowledge and you aren’t working and can allocate lots of time to study.
