South Metropolitan TAFE, Bentley Campus

I just move from Tasmania. I contacted Tafe few times by email from hobart so I could move to Perth and start the certificate here. I arrived yesterday, I went today to tafe. Thep erson in charge wasn't there. So I was doing all the enrollment with other nice person and when i was going to pay, a lady called Naty, arrived to the office, really rude, she came from a meeting with her manager and she was a bit mad, angry etc (really bad customer service) , and she said I just came from a meeting and you can not enrol with us. Come back in 6 months. " ... So I moved from Tasmania to study and she just say nah you can not study. You are not working right now.I gave options

Incredibly beautiful campus. Heaps of native wildlife and gorgeous plants. Wonderful lecturers. Incredible student support system. A great place to develop and grow.

Place lacks ambience and more access to windows to allow for natural light. Feels claustrophobic and very small on the inside. Very bland depressing walls and dark brick ceilings exposed not very pleasant especially in winter. Seems very institutionalised and like a maze on the inside. Majorly lacking harmonious atmosphere and colour. Some variety of paint, wall murals and better textured walls would of been suitable to create a more warm, happy and comfortable study environment.

Updating the review in Jun 2022.I still love the teachers, they are great, and student advisor was very helpful, but not a library grumpy guy. Worst thing just happened. I dropped by Student Information Centre to seek some information for a course. 4-5 staff were sitting alone at their table. Unfortunately, I was only given a code of the course and asked to go online to get the details I wanted by sending an email. Our humans depend on dogital technology, but we are losing our interactive communication skills. Check the code! Would you want to go only for this?Feb 2022.Great environment & teachers, ample sitting facilities for students, bakery, and free car park..

Superb Quality Staff Members.Who treated my Rescue Emotional Support Dog. With both patience and kindness. They didn't rush her She really enjoyed her visit Thank you so much for your professional approach to Penny it was much appreciated.I can highrecommend a Visit ❤

DO NOT STUDY HERE!!! Dishonest and untrustworthy. I studied the electrical contractors course here. The content was terrible and the tutor I had was even worse. I complained the course was lacking content but instead of accepting that, they lied and told me I had not downloaded the latest content. In the meantime they uploaded content to cover themselves. When I checked the content and the dates on them they were 5 days old, they denied this and lied even more to cover themselves. Do not waste your money here pay the extra few dollars and study electrical contracting at CET or CSTA.

Completed a Cert IV in Accounting and bookkeeping this year and felt compelled to leave a review to highlight how positive the educational experience I had here was for me. Staff were great, student services helped arrange credit transfer with very little hassle, learning resources were excellent and well structured overall which made revision a much smoother practice.The campus/facilities are well maintained and surprisingly pleasant to be amongst, although the canteen I found to be pretty lacklustre.My lecturers, Gary and Levinia, were amazing and have added so much to my education with their knowledge and skill but more so their ability to build effective student-teacher learning relationships. I feel I have really solidified the building blocks of what it is to be a student here and am very glad I opted to study at South Metro TAFE

Just not feeling it

The food & service in the Pine Training Restaurant at Bentley was excellent. I would recommend to family & friends to support these training students.One recommendation for Management: I would recommend that the table service students would have more supervision to refine their fine dinning skills. Overall, the students are good & keen to learn but could do better.I have enjoyed my lunch. I shall return for the summer menu. These are the food I had chicken salad, comfit duck & bake custard. Food was well presented & tasty.Thank you to all the students serving & cooks & supervisors. You done an excellent job!
