What our students say

Iris

Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care

I highly recommend the Early Childhood Education and Care course in Equals. My trainer, Megan, took the time to visit me at my workplace today, especially during the school holidays. It really showed how responsible she is as a trainer. I feel truly supported in the class; she always takes time to listen to students’ concerns and gives us guidance. Also, I feel valued every time I read her feedback on my assessments. It helps me a lot to know what I’ve done right. I appreciate everything she’s done for us as a trainer. I’m glad I chose to study at EQUALS because of amazing trainers like her.

Bachelor of Human Services

I did MHFA from Equals International last year and it has been incredible learning about mental health issues that people go through and also understanding they ways to deal with crisis in the community or neighbourhood. I loved information provided in the MHFA course. Definitely would recommend.
