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

Found the course for me !

I was really impressed by how fast you found a course that suited my requirements.
I did not like the follow-up once I had picked the course to follow up .
By the time I had finished, I had contact with 3 sites for 1 inquiry
I don't even know "simply learning online " . A third party then had my info without my consent. Hope that makes sense.

These guys are really helpful but I have asked a few times now for the prices for the course I chose and I still haven't received that information. I am really interested in the course but I want to know if I can afford it before I go any further

Be very careful about enrolling, or even enquiring!!!

I was immediately phoned by a course advisor and pushed to enrol, pay a deposit and set up a payment plan. Then while I was still on the phone asked to sign a contract without being given the time, opportunity to read the contract or access my options for enrolment.
That was the last I heard from anyone at Foundation Education despite being told all my course information would be emailed in 2-3 days. That was more than 2 weeks ago.

I'm sorry Rebecca.lt is a financial problem! I found l can get HECS (as it used to be called) if studying with Edith Cowen Uni,and this suits my O.A pensioner needs at this time.
Thank you for your assistance.l did like the idea of a SHORT course though.

Sounds great

Sounds great, I inquire about a coarse thou, get an automatic response message telling me I'll hear from someone in a few days. A couple of weeks pass n you ask me to write a review..

We use to expect machines to fail. Now its amazing if there's even a person on the other end, let alone if any real action is ever made.
