I am a working Mum with a baby and a toddler and managed study around my family and other commitments due to the flexibility of the course. I found the team at WFE very helpful and knowledgeable. I'm already straight into my Cert IV.
I completed the course in 3 months and now continuing with Cert IV. 100% flexible study option means I could juggle my study in between full time work and family life. The facilitators and educators are very supportive and responsive to queries.
