Kangan Institute

I am a Broadmeadows campus online student and I would not recommend this Tafe. I am still enrolled in the course but have also enrolled at Swinburne online and there is a huge difference. At Kangan enrolling can take months, even re-enrolling after each semester is all rushed and last minute. If you have any issues in admin also expect to wait months in one case a year for me. I think the teachers are part of the admin team which seems to suggest they are very understaffed. Teachers will reply to course work related emails though. The course content is lacking so much, can't say I am learning much. There is no interaction in the forums, no discussions, no live online classes just zero interactions and all you can expect is a bunch of links, questions, quizzes, and an assignment that you need to guide yourself through by using the information on links. If you are not self motivated don't even think about joining. Swinburne offers the best enrolment process, you can do it yourself as well as withdraw from units yourself from the portal. No contact with admin required. Swinburne also offers weekly live classes (not compulsory) where you can get questions answered and interact with teachers and peers. All I can say is Kangan could learn a lot from Swinburne. I will continue my studies into Bachelor with Swinburne because of this.

After the experience myself and a work colleague had trying to enroll for a tafe course with kangan neither of us would use them in future. They were unable to give either of us an indication of what days the course would be ran during the information night and we were told we would be called early the following week to let us know. 4 and a half week later (2 weeks prior to the start of the course) they contacted us, asking to book in to complete our enrollment and payment would be due immediately even though we still had not been told what days the course ran. It was explained to us that all students had to meet the required numeracy and literacy tests to begin the course so people do not enroll into courses that they do not have the ability to complete. During the application night i got a glimpse of the numeracy and literacy scores of the people present and half had not met the required scores. On the information night we were asked when we could pay, and were asked again in an e-mail. It is Quite obvious that Kangan simply wanted the money from the government for the free tafe courses. Study elsewhere.

no response at all on gap training been trying to enroll from November last year numerus calls and emails won't recommend this institute at all.

Still requesting staff to have c0v#d J8b. They say they are a dynamic and inclusive workplace but all I see is division. Backwards institution avoid at all costs.

I just finished my final day here.I had an awesome time. The teachers were great to learn from, and I can definitely say it's been a rewarding experience doing my apprenticeship here.The only thing I can fault this campus on is hygiene. Bathrooms are never properly cleaned and there's mould in the vents. Commonly used surfaces seldom get cleaned as well and it's a little grotty.

If I could give 0 I would. Very bad experience from one of the head teachers. Very unprofessional and received no support from day 1 whatsoever.After Covid 19 lock down, stated that I was in a bad position and that I should be withdrawn. During Covid 19, practical classes could not be done, so I don't understand why they would not extend our practical classes so we can have more time to sit the practical classes but instead, they just said I should withdraw the course. We need more better teachers that this Kangan!If you want to obtain a industry license, I recommend not wasting your time at Kangan. Go elsewhere.

I started looking into a community services diploma at Kangan (Broadmeadows) at the end of 2019. I was super excited as it was what I’ve been wanting to do and super close to where I live. I did all the testing, the information session and everything else I needed to do the only thing left for me to do was pay. The people in charge of this course then decided I wasn’t able to do partake in it after making up three different excuses. I kept on top of emailing them and eventually they ended up ignoring my emails. Definitely do not recommend studying here. If this was only during the process of enrolling I can’t imagine actually being apart of a course. I am very disappointed and will be looking elsewhere.

I’m an employer of a second year automotive apprentice. The way in which the staff conduct themselves leaves a lot to be desired.The latest blunder happened two days ago when one of their teachers marked my apprentice as present even though he wasn’t there. This obviously raises some serious safety and organisational concerns. I was promised a phone call back to explain how that situation came to be, which didn’t happen.Send your apprentices elsewhere. These guys are absolutely useless.

It has a good EV Automotive labs and staff and brand new facilities with modern building. But the staff should enhance the quality of subjects and materials and more organised with expanding the course period.

During my time at Kangan, i found the attitude of the staff rude, arrogant and Incompotent. Classes were overcrowded, most of the equipment was broken. The pdfs that i was made to read are outdated. You are made to wait hours at a time just for a teacher to check your work and the whole place in general is highly disorganised which results in you getting very little work done. The list goes on and on. This place is the worst learning facility i have ever been to and i do not recomend this school to anyone. I am now studying at a place far superior to this sorry excuse for a school and i suggest that other students do the same.
