BEWARE!
I am in the process of 'trying' to get my money back from Open colleges Australia.
I spoke to the main course advisor who gave me incorrect information which led to me trusting that this was the right course for me.
I signed up and began, i finished 7 assignments in just 2 days, i felt like i was in primary school.. a 10 year old could have answered the questions, the course was a joke.
After feeling skeptical i checked out the Open Colleges website again and just realised that the course was NOT ACCREDITED! So feeling ripped off i decided to cancel the course as i was still in my 7 day cooling off period.
I couldn't get through to anyone on the student support number after 2 days, my emails got no replies and i am still currently dealing with the issue.
THE 7 DAY COOLING OFF PERIOS IS USELESS WHEN THEY WONT GET BACK TO YOU DURING THAT PERIOD WHICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CANCEL!
So BEWARE, They will do anything to take your money for a crappy USELESS course that you could do elsewhere for 1/4 of the price!
Lesson learnt, and i will do more research from now on before signing anything.
Please learn from my mistake! Go to Open Universities instead.
