Amazing RPL support from Charlotte Kendrick

I am currently navigating the RPL system at Hadar for my Diploma of Mental health. Throughout the process Charlotte Kendrick has been an amazing support and help, she has been amazing at helping the process be as accessible and stress free as possible. Super Grateful for all the support and help from Charlotte throughout this whole process.

Navigating RPL can feel overwhelming but having Charlotte in your corner — making the process as accessible and stress free as possible every step of the way — changes everything. That's the kind of support that turns a daunting process into an achievable one. Super grateful is exactly how you should feel and we're so glad Charlotte could be there for you. Keep going — your Diploma of Mental Health awaits!

Excellent Learning Experience

I’ve greatly enjoyed the classes with Cayan throughout my Certificate IV. He’s an excellent communicator who explains concepts clearly and keeps the sessions engaging. What I’ve appreciated most is how he brings real industry experience into the classroom, adding practical insights that go beyond the course content. I thoroughly recommend Hader Institute to anyone considering completing a Certificate IV in Mental Health.

CAREER CHANGE

When looking for study options, I was called by Jack Mckenna from Hader and his professionalism and conversational manner put me at ease and made it an easy decision to study with Hader.
It took me a while to make my final decision and Jack was never pushy but kept in touch and when I was ready he ran me through the whole process and made my enrolment seamless. I have started my Cert IV in Community Services and my experience so far has been very positive. Jay Fleming facilitates our Tuesday classes and is very knowledgeable and approachable. Everyone I have had contact with from Hader have been awesome so far and I'm very happy to have chosen to study with them.

Welcome to your Cert IV in Community Services — you made the right call and the best is absolutely still ahead!

Coming into class without the industry lingo and walking away with real knowledge and confidence — that's the most powerful kind of learning there is. Great feedback and discussions are exactly what bridges that gap and it's wonderful to hear it's landing that way for you.

“5 Stars for Angelica – Truly Helpful!”

“I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Angelica, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of support she provided. She’s so knowledgeable, and genuinely caring in addressing all my queries and concerns. Angelica took the time to listen and made sure I fully understood everything before ending our call. Generally, she provided me with motivation with regards to my study in Hader Institute.
It’s rare to come across someone so dedicated and helpful. I highly recommend her to anyone starting their learning journey — she truly goes above and beyond! Thank you, Angelica, for making the experience so smooth and reassuring. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

Knowledgeable, genuinely caring, patient enough to make sure everything is fully understood before ending the call and generous enough to provide motivation for the journey ahead — that's Angelica and that's the kind of support that turns a nervous prospective learner into a confident one. Rare, dedicated and going above and beyond every single time. Thank you for sharing this so beautifully and welcome to Hader — the best is absolutely still ahead! 🙌

A course that genuinely delivers — and people who truly care

I'm currently completing a dual Certificate IV in Mental Health and Alcohol & Other Drugs at Hader Institute, and I can't speak highly enough of the experience.
Kim Crescencio, Bernadette Lee, and Robyn Herbig deserve a special mention — three genuinely wonderful people who bring warmth, professionalism, and real dedication to everything they do. The support and guidance they provide goes above and beyond what you'd expect.
The course itself is excellent — well-structured, relevant, and engaging. The weekly online training sessions are a highlight, and the communication throughout has been clear, timely, and encouraging every step of the way.
If you're considering a pathway into community services or mental health support, I'd recommend Hader Institute without hesitation. A fantastic institution with fantastic people. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A dual Certificate IV in Mental Health and AOD, a course that's well-structured, relevant and engaging, weekly sessions that are a genuine highlight, and three people — Kim, Bernadette and Robyn — who bring warmth, professionalism and real dedication to everything they do. That's Hader at its absolute best. Thank you for recommending us without hesitation and for taking the time to celebrate the people who made your experience what it is. The community services sector is about to gain someone truly outstanding. Keep going! 🙌

When something feels upsetting and traumatising, having someone who truly listens, takes ownership and follows through with a promise to check back in — that's not just great service, that's genuine human care. Kim didn't just solve a problem. She showed up for a person. Thank you for trusting us with something so personal and know that we are absolutely here for you every step of the way. 🙌
