Student Story

Bernadette Njoki, Kenya
Certificate III Aged Care

My experience studying at Illawarra Institute was excellent. The Wollongong campus was well equipped and I had professional and skilled teachers. The environment on campus was very peaceful and I found it to be an ideal place to learn.

I chose to study at Illawarra Institute as it has a good reputation and it was recommended to me by friends. I have no regrets about choosing to study at TAFE NSW - Illawarra Institute!
