Eyal Masliah, France
Diploma of Hospitality Management (Commercial Cookery)

 

I was very impressed at the high standard it has to offer. The college looked professional from the start and located in the centre of Melbourne's central shopping and business district. Staff are very friendly and supportive. Academia has been very flexible to meet my needs for example when I needed time off they worked with me to make sure my study did not suffer. In 2004 I planned my trip to Australia because I heard Australian's are very nice and friendly so I wanted to see for myself. I am enjoying my time at Academia and look forward to spending a lot more time in Australia as it is a beautiful country.

Teachers try to use easier words, explain slowly, deeply for all the whole class to understand. Academia’s staffs are friendly and helpful to make sure you and all students feel comfortable and enjoy while you are at school.

Priscilla Otero, Brazil

Diploma of Hairdressing Salon Management

 

From the time I was traveling in Australia I also was deciding on a future career. I wondered why not study in Australia, a course that would develop my skills in the Hairdressing Industry. Searching for a school wasn’t easy but finally Academia International provided me with a Hairdressing course which was very professional and has a very friendly and supportive environment. Studying 3 days per week gives me the flexibility to have a part time job. I recommend Academia International to any person who is considering studying abroad.

Why Academia? Academia International is the best option out of all the academic colleges I looked at. With a wide range of the latest techniques, fantastic facilities, two hairdressing salons open to the public and very defined modules.  The diversity of practical techniques and theory modules is what made academia different from other colleges, this course has proved to be worth all the efforts I put in to get here. I was amazed and pleased to discover the variety of disciplines the course offers. The lecturers are all professional, very resourceful and helpful. Coming to college has broadened my horizons. Everyone I have met is so friendly and I have had the chance to mix with people from all over the world. Studying at academia is a great experience and I would advise any international student to do the same. I am more then grateful that I decided to study at Academia International.

Junko Honda, Japan

Diploma of Hospitality Management (Patisserie)

 

Hi, my name is Junko Honda. I am from Japan.

I have been to Australia about 3 years. At first I only wanted to learn English in Australia but as time went by I fell in love with Australia.

Hence I decided to study Patisserie at Academia International College because becoming a famous pastry cook has been my dream since I was a child and my migration agent told me that if I studied Patisserie, I could apply Permanent Residency . Then I tried to find out some information about colleges that offer Patisserie course. Luckily I found Academia International College. For me the biggest attraction of Academia was that Academia International College has an affiliation with Langham Hotel so the students can go to Langham Hotel to have a work experience while they are studying at Academia. Also Academia was the only one that has all the practical classes in the same building so I don’t have to travel around a lot. The other important issue for me at that time was, I wanted to study in a real international college. There were a lot of colleges that had only one or two nationalities dominating the whole colleges which I didn’t like. In Academia, I truly enjoyed the real multicultural environment while I was studying and eventually I have received my Permanent Residency after I graduated my study at Academia.

I sincerely appreciate Academia and truly recommend prospect students to go and visit Academia and start your academic journey with Academia International College.

Now I am working 7 days a week to save some money to buy a house. I want to meet a lot more Academia graduates to succeed in their future lives.  Thank you.

Diploma in Hospitality Management (Commercial Cookery)

 

Why Academia? Academia is truly an International College with more than 40 nationalities across the world. A key difference with Academia is that there is not a single dominant nationality. Other colleges have up to 90% of their student base coming from a single Nationality. The first impression of Academia is how clean it is plus its facilities are all in house you do not have to take public transport to go to rented kitchens or salons. Academia’s Trainers are professional, well organized and extremely supportive knowing that their majority of students do not have English as their first language. Come and join me at Academia International and attend one of the best schools in a one of the world’s best multicultural city Melbourne Australia.
