“I dropped out in year 10, started the diploma, and now I'm looking for a full-time job. You can also learn outside of school. It's only the beginning of what I want to do in the future, hopefully opening my own business.”

“Face-to-face is quite difficult sometimes. I was working full-time so after the gym I'd do some study at night. On the weekends I'd have no life, just get the study out of the way because once I'd finished it, it's done. I've done it. It's done and dusted.”

“It was quite different to do education as an older student, but I did find it really interesting. Have the courage to just give it a go. You're never too old to keep learning.”

“I'd already done a Certificate IV in Business Administration so I just wanted to complete it with a diploma. I don't have to stop work, I don't have to take days off, I can do it when I'm ready. It's easy to work it around my life.”

“I’ve got a passion about Work Health and Safety and I wanted to make an advance in that area, to advance my career. I'm not ready to retire yet, I feel I've still got a lot to offer.”

“The mentors are always asking whether I need some help. Always attentive. Always encouraging.”

“MCI Institute gives me the opportunity to do my study and work. I'm really arming myself in what I'm doing.”

“I can study anywhere. I don't have to go to a classroom. I just sit down and do the tasks and then upload them. It just works for me.”

“Studying online offers way more support to the student. It's a phone call, it's direct. One-on-one.”
