Why Choose Academia?

All of our certificate and diploma courses are delivered 3 days per week, providing students with the option to work and study at the same time. Our Hospitality courses also offer internships to students allowing them to work in 5 star hotels.

A number of our qualifications have direct entry from diploma to degree at selected universities upon successful completion of your diploma or advanced diploma. Example pathways include:

1. English -> 3 Year Degree
2. English + Diploma -> 2 Year Degree

Being a medium-sized school, you enjoy the facilities and training environment of a large TAFE / University whilst receiving the personalised care of a smaller school. We know the unique requirements of local AND international students and have implemented support services to assist our students with both their academic and everyday needs.
