A SPECIALISED EDUCATION

The College’s approach to curriculum design has attracted national acclaim, responding to industry demand and evolving tertiary preparation requirements through curriculum design innovation. Personalised curriculums are developed with respect to a student’s chosen specialisation. Our teachers are respected industry professionals, delivering a hands-on learning approach to foster lateral thinking and confidence.

The College embraces hands-on learning as a pathway to success for students progressing toward further study or direct employment with industry. In conjunction with theory, hands-on and investigative learning techniques are at the heart of the College’s curriculum design. Hands-on learning involves investigation and working through real practical projects. Learning through application encourages flexibility and lateral thinking. Confidence, teamwork and co-operation skills are developed for real world application.
