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

Hi Michael,

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and we’re sorry to hear you feel that way.

Price is not displayed on all of our courses because in many cases the cost is dependant on a number of factors. In these situations, it’s best to get that information from a course adviser to ensure accuracy.

If you’d like to discuss anything further or receive additional clarification, please email reviews@shortcourses.com.au.

Cheers,

Not happy jan

I hate it when you make an inquiry and you can’t get a price. And yet I’ve had a half a dozen emails with no info on it! May someone send me just the price of the course I asked

Rubbish

Sales people are both pushy and just read the information to you straight from the website. 3x as expensive as similar courses.

Fine, thanks.

Fine, thank you. I asked not to be called but you work so fast that I was called whilst typing that message. I didn't want to deal with a salesperson but it all ended up OK.

Poor response

My simple request for the cost of a course was ignored and instead I received an information brochure on the course, which is exactly the same as on your site.

Pretty useless really.

Pretty useless really. Clicked on the link to receive more info about three short courses, largely because the website doesn’t mention costs. One no reply. One, provided useless information about being a professional wildlife photographer and said I should contact them for more information - nothing on the content of the course or the cost. The third telephoned me and then sent some information, when she could have sent stuff without wasting the time. I haven’t followed through.

Never got a course guide

Signed up to receive a course guide and was never emailed one or given the option to download one. Just advised that a course advisor would be in touch. Didn't want the hard sell, just wanted to look at the course.
