A testimonial from Tamara, our FYI Training superstar that tells us how she managed to finish two courses, juggle her family and work life and still found great success in her time with FYI Training.

“If you want to make a difference in this world, become a carer. Do a Certificate III in Individual Support. The world needs careers, good carers. Not just going for the wrong reasons. This industry is different than others. You are dealing with people, the elderly and they are more frail & need sun in their life.”

Elsie comes with a 20-year career background in Finance based in Malaysia. After moving to Australia during Covid-19, she wanted to do something for herself and inspire her future. She enrolled into the Certificate III in Early Childhood Education & Care CHC30113.

The best parts about studying at FYI? “Just having good team behind you and the support. Andrea was fantastic, in all the submissions she really helped me through them. She was fantastic. She makes the time of the day to help you out. you can contact her anytime she will get back to you. And ask you what you need help with. I came in a few times and she helped me out. She has real patience to help students.”

Irena has recently graduated from her Certificate IV in Leisure & Health and has shown great passion and dedication throughout her studies.

“The first thing is the flexibility because of work it was good to study around my work days. Also my trainer Colleen was a lovely teacher and if something was hard to understand, she would always explain it to us. Everyone else in the office also including Ned & Maree were so lovely and whatever you ask for they will help you. Everything is so positive, I have nothing negative to say.”

“My advice to other students if you’re passionate it just do it it may seem like it’s a lot of work but getting the practice in writing your observation in your assessments and learning from the trainers that have experience in the industry just soak it all in and get as much as you can out of that they’re there to help you.”

“I LOVE that everyone is family and welcomed. The support given by all staff. The different study options so everyone can study. I know being a mum but even when I was working full time, on site study wasn't an option for me but doing it online I was still able to do my desired course and not miss out on an opportunity. Being made to feel like you're achieving rather than just a number in a school.”
