Australia: Open Learning Institute of TAFE

I was wondering if any of you had an opinion and/or experiences with this institute?

I am going to be taking some of their courses. Thank you.

 

If you are in Australia, and in Qunensland, and don't aim for a degree [yet], possibly a good idea. Each State has a similar program - TAFE Frontiers in Victoria, and OTEN in New South Wales. Fees are very reasonable, and if you complete the 2 years equivelant fulltime Advanced Diploma, will possibly get 12-18 months off a degree course.

If you are not in Australia, be aware that this is NOT a degree program, addresses para-professional and workplace requirements, being a VET [Vocational Education & Training] program. It somewhat resembles the Associates level at a US Community College, and part of the NVQ scale in UK.

I am happy to discuss it with you via [email protected] as I administer, assess, audit, and author in this area nationally.

Thanks for the help Peter. I am corresponding with the University of South Australia and it is possible that upon completion of the TAFE "Diploma of Justice Administration" one can enter into the last year of their "Bachelor of Social Science" degree Justice Admin program.

They are still looking into it for me.
