   Horrible place to study online. They do not give proper instructions and if you need help, they might respond over 2 days wait. They will fail you for not completing a course given they don't give the proper instructions on the blackboard and even if you tell them you can't find it haha good luck! Good luck on them getting back to you on time before your submission is due. They do not care if you get straight A's or that you're a previous academic student with them. Zero guidance. Zero real help. Zero care. And majority of practice submissions are marked by AI! So even a typo and it will score you wrong.

   This is an environment you would expect to have support and guidance in, so you have the confidence to be able to flourish in the direction you want to head. Not to be left feeling the exact opposite. If you are financially strained, make sure you understand the withdrawal process properly. The way it is written is very confusing. In fact, material that is supposed to house this content, doesn't. I had 2 business owners, 1 financial advisor, and 1 psychology student read the refund policy before I signed up. They, including myself got this completely wrong. So, WITHDRAW within a 2 week period, not the month, as they quite happily will NOT refund your money. They'll just be 'sorry for the inconvenience'. Side note. The course study notes I had for the SIT2LRN Small Business L4 course had grammatical errors, unfinished sentences, and readings I couldn't find. I had to get a friend to access them through Waikato Uni. Facilitators hadn't added their email addresses, and in emails, I was addressed by someones else's name. The first learning institute I have come across with this level of unprofessional, and uncaring demeanor towards the very people they are supposed to be supporting. If I could give a 'no star' it would be that.

   I have finished my studies by distance learning from SIT. The admin staff and facilitators were exceptionally supportive during the whole programme tenure. The feedback provided by the facilitators significantly improved my understanding of the topics related to courses of the programme and also helped me in assignment planning and development. Students need to be proactive in communicating with facilitators and administration staff to get timely support as the whole enrolment process and study support during the programme duration depends on the students themselves.

   I do not suggest doing any studies here! Had a terrible time with this institute. They have awful facilitators who are nasty and unfair to you. Comments and feedback are vague. but still count on you to complete all of the tasks to their standards. communication with students is insufficient. The workload is completely unfair given the way that they grade. Furthermore, neither the administration nor the student support have been beneficial. Overall, I was dissatisfied with their performance and wished I had picked an other institution. I should have read their testimonials before I joined.

   I wish we had read the reviews of this institution before enrolling. My son worked so hard for his half year course only to find out 90% of his assignments had disappeared and the course manager didn’t put in any effort to find out what happened. It’s near impossible to get any relevant help from the administration. They treated my son like he had not put in any effort at all, failed him and asked him to redo the course the next year at half the pace. Unbelievable waste of time and effort. Total lack of student support. I have only now uncovered so many similar situations with other students. I proofread all of the assignments my son submitted, I know how much hard work he put in. All for what? Nothing. How does this institution get away with treating young people this way?

   I'm not sure of the rest of it but the hair dressing units very well set up. I was privileged to be asked to be a model. I was very impressed.

   Good quality campus, full service, comfort, full facility, friendly and professional staff. I recomended. I learned English Course here. Now more students come from other country, i think SIT need to develop more classroom and tutor.
