I recently finished my Dual Cert 4 in accounting and bookkeeping through them. It was not an easy task to prepare myself for studies again after a decade but Applied Education made it so interesting and challenging at the same time. I enrolled for a self paced study program and I was able to finish the course in time without any extension all while juggling a full time job and family. The course material was up to date, assessments were clear yet demanding. I learnt actually how to research for answers and relevant information if needed rather than getting spoon fed. All the Assessors were extremely helpful and quick in pointing me in right direction yet letting me find my own answers which actually gave me loads of confidence 🙂 I found the ticket system so helpful and efficient, got all my queries answered within a couple of working hours every single time. Thumbs up to all the assessors and congratulations to the whole team of Applied Education. I shall be enrolling for my diploma very soon. 🙂read more
