Without a family here in Australia, Stanley College was like a second home to me as when we had problems, they helped us. When I broke my collarbone, Stanley College helped me with this and I thank them for that. I would recommend Stanley College to everyone that wants to grow their knowledge.

While I was enrolled at Stanley College, I was looking for sponsorship. I started to work at The Windsor and I was so happy to get my 457 visa eventually. Never give up on your dreams and desires! Thank you Stanley College and their awesome staff!

Studying at Stanley College has been one of the best decisions I have made in my life. While studying Certificate III in Commercial Cookery, my cooking techniques have improved as we had to prepare daily students lunches and organise college functions. It was like a real workplace
setting! My Trainers are very good and offer a wealth of industry knowledge. I will definitely continue and further my studies in Certificate IV and Diploma at Stanley College!

After being with Stanley College for almost 2 years, there has been a lot of positive changes in my life. Some of those are getting a qualification in Aged Care and Management that is not only recognized in Australia but globally. Most importantly, I met the most amazing people, not just from my home country, but from different countries too. It is such an amazing experience to be in a community that helps you to be aware of other people’s culture. Stanley College also helped me a lot in adapting to the culture and norms of living in Perth. Overall, my experience at Stanley College has been amazing.

Stanley College is conveniently located and the timetable suits the daily activities of my life. The trainers are very supportive and helpful.

My trainer, Aaron Johnson, is a very knowledgeable and helpful person. Aaron possesses an exceptional ability to connect with the students. With a firm but friendly demeanour, Aaron manages to present both simple and complex concepts to all students. He has strong written and verbal skills, and he is both organized and dependable.

His involvement as the teacher liaison with Stanley College shows that he is concerned about maintaining an excellent study environment for students.

Aaron is a well-liked teacher with an understanding of what it takes to motivate students. It was a pleasure to have a great teacher like Aaron!

I couldn’t imagine that studying business could be so interesting! The practical assessments and class activities made learning so easy. As an international student, I was a bit scared in the beginning about fitting in with the local students but the trainer made it much easier by encouraging us to communicate through games and questionnaires. Studying at Stanley College was such a good experience!
