While their nursing program was great and has properly prepared me to work in the industry, the way they run things needs to be improved significantly. Our Vocational Placement Facilitator during our first 2 semesters kept harassing us about submitting our documents on time, and yet doesn't see a problem with leaving it to the last minute where we're going.

As soon as classes have finished, my classmates started receiving their diplomas through the mail. Knowing Tafe, I told myself to be patient and wait as my name was probably just at the bottom of the pile. 6 weeks have passed and I still haven't received anything. Then I received an email from QTAC saying that the major offer round is coming up and they still haven't received my transcript. This prompted me to ring Tafe and it was only then that I found out I've got an outstanding balance of $42.00. I didn't even know what it was for. I did not receive any invoice for it, I wasn't told anything about an outstanding fee that I could easily have paid for if I knew about it. I have a Graduate Program commencing in mid-February and I'm also applying to do my Bachelors. Both those are now in serious jeopardy just because Tafe can't get their act together.

I am seriously disappointed and would not recommend Tafe to anyone. You can acquire the same knowledge anywhere else, but they might not be as poorly run as Tafe.
