Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT), Reid

Don’t waste your money studying here. If the teachers turn up to class - it’s a miracle. Or they turn up and say” can’t stay- have to go home and look after the kids”- or something similar!Better off studying elsewhere.

They do have good materials good course content. but few teachers are not enough qualified. They can't teach very details of course content. Even some lectures are so worst that you can't learn anything from there.I think the reason behind it gov. don't allocate enough fund for this Institute. So the reason they are not getting qualified teachers.However some teachers are really very skilled and provides good lectures.

Agree with Robyn Flynn. I did the same part time course and was in her classes. Pathetic, unprofessional services from the majority of staff....or just a complete lack of response to attempts to communicate. Very disappointed. I rushed to finish assignments in August 2016 to meet due dates while working full time. It's March 2017 and I have had two comments on assignments which just indicated I passes, and nothing else seems to be marked. I've now been told I can't pass as I haven't been marked competent in one of my classes. I didn't get any feedback saying I didn't pass or to resubmit anything, so wouldn't have known if I didn't chase this up. Still no word as to why I didn't pass and it seems not all my assignments have been marked which means I am still waiting 6 months later for a certificiate! Very frustrated, and so are the majority of students from the course. We've been emailing and calling with ongoing issues for months and have been disappointed with every response or lack of response.

It is an excellent learning facility with very knowledgeable teachers comma that want to instill their knowledge and experience.Where it falls down that is the state of the campus. Some of the facilities are old and quite challenging to get around, particularly when you're in a wheelchair.However, being in one of the oldest parts of Canberra it's surrounded by beautiful trees that display stunning colours in autumn.

I live in the ACT and completed Fitness Certificates three and four at CIT in 2016. I chose CIT as I thought it would be cheaper. One subject we all needed to register in the ACT to run Group Fitness classes was omitted from our Cert three. As students, we had to persuade the Manager to run it for us and not charge extra!!!. I finished all requirements for Cert four in October 2016. It's now March 2017 and despite numerous phone calls and emails from myself and my instructors saying I have completed all requirements, I still don't have my Certificate IV so I can't get insurance or start a business. I would recommend NOT completing Fitness Certificates at CIT if you are serious about running a business.

This place is great. I love the atmosphere, the teachers are really helpful. They didn't make me wait too long for my Cert. Admin is always helpful if you don't a bit off a wait and CITSA are super supportive.

Considering this is an 'institute of technology' the state of technology used to deliver learning as laughable. This place still runs on technology from the Y2K era (decades old). The disjointed software systems require wall of text template emails from staff to navigate. Worse still the system does not seem to facilitate coordinated department activities, like the ID checks you must repeat upwards of 4 times for each department.The staff are wonderful, but they are obviously being massively hamstrung by the lack funding. I mean our qualifications came through from the IT support desk in the form of an incident response ticket.... I have honestly seen developing countries with better IT.

Teachers are decent have a good amount of experience well at least in my department.Lack of communication is terrible has put an extra amount of stress that isn't needed.I do find it ridiculous that this hasnt been improved as this seems to be a common issues through the whole school.If you have the choice for where to do your Tafe course imo it would be better to do it online through Tafe NSW.

Don't bother studying here. Save your time and money studying elsewhere. Teachers are under qualified, and don't communicate accordingly.My partner and I are studying different courses and are having the same issues with the teachers, course content and CIT in general.
