The Gordon - Geelong City Campus

This is a late review... I did my English course in 2012 for 6 months.I had very friendly teachers but unfortunately the course it was very bad organised in my opinion (I'm also a teacher).For example, no books to follow, the speaking classes were about listen the teacher to talk (instead of us to practicing speaking).I'm very frustrated today because I spent a lot of money with the course, the student Visa, the flight trips from Portugal, accomodation,... to improve my English and I know that I could have learn much more in a good school with a good program to follow.Hope that today Gordon has improved it!

Diploma of Remedial massage course that I have completed. The knowledge and skill I have learned at Gordon build me confidence at work. Derek and Dan are very supportive teachers especially their effort to delivery knowledge to me as English is my second language. The material that I have learned are all up to date at my current modern workplace at Richmond Rehab physio clinic as a remedial massage therapist.

There is a massive problem within the hairdressing dept .You send your apprentices into the trade school to learn and instead they get approached by teachers (who have their own salons ) and offered jobs. In some instances our apprentices have been poached after only being with us for under a year. Teachers are there to teach not use it as a recruitment office. When the gordon was approached about this , they didn't see it as a problem.D O NOT send your apprentices here until they clean house

Awesome day learning how to program drones for these students from Lorne P12 College.

Great teachers. They really go the extra mile for you. Top notch. Diploma laboratory technology.

The Studio hair salon refused to do my hair as l have had it done many times at other Tafes, saying ‘l’ve been doing this for 30 years and you can’t do that’ so l had to walk out

this institute is unprofessional and bad Services. Specially the Belinda Carter pre rude. have very bad behaviour. not like a human.

the gordon is not education centre, there is waste time centre. i did my diploma of building there. just they played video for us. no teacher. i regretted to enrolled there.please don’t waste your time there.

Do NOT send your appreciate hairdresser's to the Gordon!It's well know with salon's in Geelong NOT to send students to the Gordon.With the Gordon having the monopoly of training in Geelong there is not a lot of options unfortunately.I've honestly never had to deal with a more incompetent and unprofessional organisation.I've asked on many occasions for the teachers upto date certificate for teaching as I believe the teaching style to be incredibly out dated only to be ignored.The students feel as the teachers are working against them and deliberately hold them back from progression in their carees.The Gordon decides if the girls are 'to lazy' making them pay and resit units without any communication with the employer.The Gordon loose the students completed work denying it being handed in.The Gordon do not apply health care cards to students files, ripping off the students and the employer's.The Gordon have their own added on units that are not in the core units for certificate 3 hairdressing adding months and extra unnecessary extra expenses to the certificate.When I call the Gordon I'm on an extremely long hold and the call is ended without satisfactory results.The Gordon is extremely unhelpful.The Gordon is taking advantage of young people with no accountability when students drop out.I just payed almost $6000 to put through an apprentice, in Melbourne the same course at headmasters is $700 with a healthcare card!! $1900 without a healthcare card!Re think choosing the Gordon for trades.Re think choosing the Gordon for any education.

If you are looking for a beautiful career with quality education DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY HERE!!! WORSE EXPERIENCE EVER!! the administration is a disaster dont know if you make a payment or not and keep sending you text messages for make payments even if you pay all the course. The PATHOLOGY course have most rude, disrespectful and abusive teachers,they make you take blood from students and they withdraw blood from your arm more than 60 time in the laboratory for students that have not experience at all and your arms will be so sore that you will be crying and traumatised is like torture, the director dont offers a real support if you been abused and cover his back stealing your money if you make a payment in advance dont give you any refund. Im pretty sure that so many stuff that happen in here are ellegal...This plase has leave me with a bitter taste and a traumatic experience that i dont wish to anyone.PLEASE!!! students of Melbourne,all Australia and international students, there is more institutes with a remarkable education for all of US! Keep looking because we deserve BETTER!! If you go there you will be stuck in a hole with really bad people that doesn't care at all about any of us...The Gordon answers are useless always, but watch out because the world is watching out now and is not just me.
