Testimonials
The reason why I am studying Aged care is because I think working in Aged care and Disability industry is very rewarding in the future, and everybody in AMCA is so warm and welcoming. I’m really happy studying here. My trainer is fabulous. My classmates are fantastic. I am looking forward to the next 2 years in AMCA and can’t wait to work in the Aged care industry.
I love AMCA because of the flexible learning model that they have to offer. It is also situated in the heart of CBD which is accessible for people to take public transportation. I also love my teacher, Ms Rati. She does not provide us with practical knowledge but she is also there as a friend. For my classmates, we are a very diverse class. We have Vietnamese, Taiwanese, Indonesian and we are Filipinos, so we can learn a lot from each other. I choose this course because of the career opportunities. I can make a difference in other people’s lives.
The first time studying here I am very impressed by the good environment, good facility and good conditions of learning. Especially, my teacher is very supportive. She teaches us a lot of things by her heart and experience. My classroom is also nice. We have many facilities for studying here and I hope that you can join with us to become successful. The reason why I am studying at AMCA with the Aged care course is that I love to suppoort the elderly people. I love to help the community and also want to help myself for my future when I get older by knowing how to prepare myself.
I really like the first week in AMCA because everybody here is very friendly. Moreover, the trainer is so nice as well. It is also the first time I study abroad. Everything here is so new and amazing to me. I think I am so lucky to have a chance of meeting friends from many countries. They are all good friends when sharing lots of new things in life.
