Here's a sample of what some of our students have said about studying with us:
BUSINESS MANAGEMENT AND MARKETING
Mihaela – Bookkeeping I
It is very well organised as an institution, and the courses are well focused.
Karina – Events Management
Very impressive, helpful, and I am comfortable because I can do it at my own pace.
Virginie – Advertising and Promotions
I have been very happy with the service your school offers. The administration staff always reply within 48 hours, the tutors are reliable and never late with marking assignments, and the course itself is very well done and useful!
Catherine - Certificate in Applied Management
I wanted to study herbs but I could not find a course at my closest TAFE, and travelling to Adelaide each day was not practical. ACS offered the best option - study at home, at my own pace and still tutor contact when I needed it. I was undecided in the facet of herbs that I wanted to specialise in - that was until I completed an assignment to produce three herbal products. My tutor tested my products and encouraged me to set up a small business making and distributing a range of natural herbal cosmetic and household products. His guidance has helped me establish an interesting and profitable business from my studies
WRITING AND COMMUNICATIONS
Justine – Freelance writing
(The course) has helped me focus on writing and increased my confidence. Provided me with valuable information and improved skills so that I can move forward in my ambitions.
Tami – Writing Fundamentals
I have learned a lot from my course and I will take a new course soon. The school has excellent services. I am satisfied with all that ACS provided.
Wendy – Writing Fiction
Having a tutor available who is able to critique my work was essential. I needed to know where my strengths and weaknesses lie. An informed and knowledgeable tutor helps a lot.
Nhys – Freelance Writing
I’ve tried to do online training before, but have lost patience waiting for the snail mail, and extended periods for marking. The speed with which each assignment was handled (by ACS) using email was excellent, and I applaud you! I will start on Freelance Writing 2 with much enthusiasm.
Janine – Children’s Writing
I never considered children’s writing very stimulating, until now.
Roslyn – English
The course taught me to write better reports / business letters and emails. I feel I have improved! I feel more confident.
AGRICULTURE
Sharley - Pet Care
The course was brilliant. Lots of new advice and knowledge that I can use every day with my own animals. Regarding the tutor, I really appreciate her comments. I found her helpful.
Tanya Sadler - Animal Husbandry
I think it is absolutely brilliant. I have never come across such a friendly, helpful staff and am so enjoying my course. I will definitely recommend ACS to anybody who wants to study over the 'net.
K Mackenzie, Dairy Cattle
The course was put together very well. It covered all the important aspects of dairy farming and offered some important practical hands-on information that other courses lacked. I thoroughly enjoyed it and feel now that I have equipped myself to work on a dairy farm.
R. Beitlich -Calf Rearing
I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to raise calves!!
Hindy - Poultry
I work in farm animal welfare (on a chicken campaign). It didn't make sense to me to work on a campaign about a subject I knew nothing about; The amount of research I did for each assignment taught me so much more than I ever could have learned on my own.
I would just like to say how much I enjoyed this course & dealing with your school. I got answers quickly, &help was always available. You don't always find that in an online course. My experience has been so positive I will be signing up for another course shortly.
Jonathan - Sheep
Although I can do all of the practical work that is required to raise sheep, I am learning a lot more than I didn't already know. all that I knew I learnt from my dad. I am enjoying this course and when I finish it, I would like to do another one, perhaps in management.
The course was more in-depth than I thought it would be and it was information that I could apply with my own horses. The feedback was very helpful and it was information that could only have been gained from experience with horses. My tutor would always answer any questions that I have and always had something positive and helpful to say!"
Dyane Haubus, Australia - Animal Health Care
I have found the course to be a great deal of help with trying to get into the animal industry. I have also found my tutors comments of great help. Would highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to get into the animal industry or for anyone wanting to learn more about our furry friends.
Natalie – Marine Studies
I thoroughly enjoyed the course, and I have learned a lot from it! Thanks!
Ceinwen – Marine Studies
My tutor is doing a great job, and I’m enjoying the work.
Stephanie – Conservation and Environmental Management
The course has provided me with a stepping stone to university, and furthered the knowledge I got from high school, preparing me for university. I wanted a course that covered a broad range of environmental aspects so that I could pinpoint which area I was most interested in. This course did just that.
Natalie – Health and Fitness
This made me realise what I really want to do with my life.
Alison – Aqua Fitness
I learnt a lot about the whole aqua fitness industry, not just one area e.g. learn to swim or aerobics.
Narda – organised Sports Nutrition course for students in a large class
The Sports Nutrition course is providing our student athletes with some excellent information and fuelled some good discussion amongst them. Good class!
Josephine – Human Nutrition
I have been studying through your school for a couple of years, and I find the quality of the service excellent, with a good range of courses. I am very impressed with your school.
Rhonda - Child Nutrition
I thoroughly enjoyed this course. I had not studied for the past 10 years and was a little apprehensive. The staff were very supportive, their feedback was always valuable and response time was extremely prompt. This course has given me a new desire to keep learning. I never knew learning could be so enjoyable. I am looking forward to my next learning experience through ACS.
B Robson - Marine Studies 1
I have appreciated and valued the feedback from my tutor and am thoroughly enjoying my course. Being a stay at home mum with another baby on the way I have also greatly appreciated the chance to be able to complete the work at my own pace, as some weeks/months it's hard to find the time to do it.
C. Cadena - Environmental Studies
The course was a valuable learning experience... "because it made me aware of environmental information I didn't know"... 'I didn't study for a career improvement, but to learn and implement the information on a daily basis".
Kim Stinton - Australia, Advanced Certificate in Wildlife Management
I love the course and the course material even though a bit of it seems to be a lot more in depth than I anticipated. I love it just the same as I'm learning lots. I just wish I had more time to do a lot more.
Katrina Merrifield, Masters Conservation Science, NZ - Trees for Rehabilitation
I definitely learned a lot from the course but it was also beneficial in affirming and raising my confidence in what I already knew.
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Mia – Biology
Plenty of information set out in an easy to understand format. I enjoyed the assignment work.
Marthe – Botany
Very good. I like your challenging assignments.
Joanne - Botany II
I find the course quite interesting! At first glance the reading material and questions look so simple, but they actually require quite a bit of thinking and probing. The course is very well designed!
Kate - Anatomy
The information given was excellent, but the assignments also made you look further to find answers yourself and I find this a much better way of learning than just being handed all the answers. It has given me a grounding knowledge in human biology which is perfect as I am applying to study Chiropractics at university next year. I couldn’t have asked for more from my tutor. She was very thorough and extremely helpful with any problems I encountered.
Melissa Smith - Australia, Biochemistry 1 (Plants)
Having not finished high school myself and never studied biochemistry my confidence is a little low but the encouragement I am receiving from Honor [tutor] is a tremendous help and making it easier for me as I go. The course is helping me realize what I am actually capable of and that I am smarter than I thought. Thank you for making it possible for me to study my passion while still being able to work.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Computer Servicing - Ian
I have learnt so much. A very valuable and interesting course… I look forward to the next one - Photography.
C. Hatchard – Digital Photography
Excellent service from (the tutor) who dealt with any query quickly, and returned written work always with a note and kind regards.
Cathy – Photography
I have found that my tutor is very encouraging and always sends my assignments back promptly. On the odd occasion that I have had to ring the school, there has been someone to talk to and help.
Christine – Hobby Photography
Excellent – a job well done.
