What are our students saying?

ACBC is an awesome place to gain certification from. All staff were extremely easy to contact and were quick to respond. Completing my Diploma of Community Services with ACBC was a pleasant experience.

ACBC’s unique combination of theory and practical work made the classes interesting and with the help of the trainers it was very personalised and interactive. The small classes, group discussions, simulations and role play activities enabled me to get to know my fellow students and training staff

I chose ACBC to take advantage of the work placement opportunity and obtain a qualification that will give me credit towards my degree, through work placement I have made connections and gained part time employment while pursuing further study.

The ACBC staff and my trainer have been the best. My trainer is super supportive and always there for a quick question or to jump on a zoom. Completing a traineeship at ACBC has made the transition from school to work life so much easier.

Studying with ACBC was very motivating, I found the inviting atmosphere and support from trainers wonderful and always looked forward to attending my class lessons each week.

My experience at ACBC was great. I loved the Travel and Tourism Course and the people in it. The trainers and staff were so supporting and encouraging, which helped me achieve so much, the work placement program was a great way to gain practical knowledge and skills. ACBC has delivered invaluable knowledge and skills that I will be forever thankful for.

My experience with ACBC was very pleasant and fun especially with two great trainers who guided me through the course and meeting new people who made me laugh everyday. ACBC provided me with a workplace experience that assisted me to prepare for my future.
