I would describe the gordon as un organised and lazy. I Did an apprenticeship through them. I signed up, paid and received my books. I completed them in time (a year later). I couldn't get a hold of anyone so I could get the ok to complete my first year and move on to the second. No one from the gordon got in touch with me or my boss for over 6 months! That's over 6 months of second year pay that I should have been getting. Finally they got in touch to let us know they weren't doing baking apprenticeships anymore and that we'd need to find another school. They gave a small refund of what the sign up fee I paid was but not even the full amount. I had to restart my first umyear study so nearly 2 years later I still am not on my second year because of the gorden.

Very Bad Customer service. Not helpful and friendly at all
As an ex student here I can say unless you have a good sense of direction it can be tricky to navigate the old corridors. That isn't a huge concern though because the security guards are so nice and so willing to help you get to where you want to go. They have great resources and knowledgeable staff willing to bend over backwards to get you your qualification and a job in the future.
Apperantly, there are many events and meeting up at this place. I viaited the restaurant for afternoon tea party by culinary school. It was so nice we loved it. Old but nice building and staffs are kind.
Thank you so much TAFE for helping me to develop a basic but very useful skills! It really changed my life and I m serious about it! I will strongly recommend my friends and family to take up a course here. The teachers are amazing as well! They will help you get through on something that you re struggling with! 11/10
Teachers and staff are great All so has very good student facilities
staff are good but parking isnt and same with the road/train noise
It's very good for international students...I got a lot of support from the administration staff Leonne at Werribee Gordon trade office...I am planning to further persue my next level of cookery through this institution...
Gordon Studio...great haircuts and colours for reasonable prices.
Awesome day learning how to program drones for these students from Lorne P12 College.
I Did my taring hospitality 1 and 2 in 2009 and 2010 taring and I am back a to do my certificate in patisserie 3 2013, The Gordon is one tafe training you can the teaches or great and helpful and understanding and it do no muter wot courses you do the Gordon are the 10/10 best in Geelong regions. and I have had a losses of fun her.
This is a late review... I did my English course in 2012 for 6 months. I had very friendly teachers but unfortunately the course it was very bad organised in my opinion (I'm also a teacher). For example, no books to follow, the speaking classes were about listen the teacher to talk (instead of us to practicing speaking). I'm very frustrated today because I spent a lot of money with the course, the student Visa, the flight trips from Portugal, accomodation,... to improve my English and I know that I could have learn much more in a good school with a good program to follow. Hope that today Gordon has improved it!
Excellent :) helpful, friendly staff, I don't think I could be any happier being a student there :) Highly recommended :)
