Open Colleges were good educators and patient, too. Considerate of extension applications due to personal circumstances, which bounce up. Open Colleges give you a second chance if you don't do well in a quiz. Like any higher education studies, one cannot skip on all the reading material - Open Colleges resources were comprehensive. Following an assignment, the Assessors were great in pointing out insufficient information or tips/questions which provided a better understanding of the formula or interpretation or calculation.
I was quite happy with my Certificate IV in Bookkeeping course. While it was very challenging, it did give a good insight of the necessities to set up a small business for those people who wish to set up their own business rather than apply for big firms.
I had in mind to start my own Bookkeeping business after this course, and I certainly feel that it has given me a lot of ground works to put me in the right direction.
