Once I completed my inquiry I very quickly received a call from Trent who explained everything and discussed what I wanted out of a course and then decided which to recommend. Then, my tutor, Elanora... See more

I don’t think anyone who’s not from Australia should go and do a course here. The guy who teaches is extremely racist, has a bad temper basically gives you a hard time. So if you cannot speak fluently... See more

I am still waiting for a call back that was arranged for 2 pm last Wednesday.
I left an hour clear at 2 pm but did not receive the call until after 4pm and I was unable to take the call at that time.
No contact since then ,it is now Sunday .
I have given a rating of 1 because the choices do not go any lower.

Pushy

Pushy. I just wanted information, but had to provide a phone number... then I wasn't able to get any information without them calling me. I had given a generic phone number to get the information. Didn't get any information, but got a lot of emails saying I had given the wrong number. Yeah, because I just want information I can peruse at my own leisure, not a sales person pushing me into joining. Thanks, but no thanks.
The way you push this means I will never enroll with Shortcourses.

Need to be more transparent on website

I would prefer to be able to read everything I need to read on the website or in the course guide without having to be contacted on the phone. Then to be able to call somebody if I do decide to move ahead with an application.

Try not to enquire

Even if you just enquire about a course, they will constantly email and call you about enrolling immediately

All I wanted was outline of course and costs. Was emailed that this must be done via phone. Not acceptable to me as I work night shift. Potential customer lost

This is the second review for this company following the second time I have tried to use the site to obtain the information I need.The info I need is the cost of the course and individual units. Apparently you can only obtain this by having someone call you. This should not be necessary it should be included in the course guide which is very sketchy.
