This course at MCFE (Certification IV in Education Support) is the the best qualification to everyone who are intended to start a career in education support in a school. Their lessons plans and quizzes are very much in detail to acquire a vast knowledge in the area and I am very much satisfied with the course. Last but not least my teacher Christie Buswell is the best! 🙂

I recently completed my Certificate IV in Education Support at Melbourne College of Further Education, and it was an outstanding experience. My educator, Christie, was truly exceptional—her passion to teach, her helpfulness and her ability to connect with students made every class engaging and enjoyable.The support staff, especially Shanae and Bell, were incredibly helpful and always available to assist with any questions. Their dedication to student success really stood out. I highly recommend MCFE for anyone looking to further their education in a supportive, inspiring environment and not just a number!

She motivated us and believed in us. I absolutely love this college and the support they provide.
