Hi all, I am wanting to do my EN next year but uncertain as to who I want to study it through.
I am located in south eastern Melbourne.
There main one is Chisholm in Berwick and there are, Holmsglen, navitas and skills training australia.
Has anyone studied with any of these? if so what were they like?

Thank you
:-)

I did not study EN at Chisholm or in fact EN at all. But I can tell you as a Monash graduate that if you complete your EN studies at Chisholm and you have a 60 per cent average you are likely to get into Monash University.

Hi, I'm new to this website. :) 

I'm currently studying the Diploma of Nursing (EN/Div 2) at Skills Training Australia. I've only been here for 3 weeks, but I'm loving it so far. There are 20-30 students in my A&P class, but in some units, there are less (like 10 students!). Anyway, it's great here. From day 1 (orientation day), you will love it. The people are mature and very friendly, unlike at a TAFE with a "highschool environment", you will instantly make new friends. Education-wise, the teachers are great. They are always there to help/assist with anything. Overall, I recommend it :)

<p>PS: Don't consider Navitas! A lot of the students in my class said that they were from Navitas but dropped out because they learnt nothing there. Just so you know :)</p>

Good luck!

PPS: Where are you studying now?

at skills training Australia it costs $8000 to do the whole diploma of nursing course...

why didn't you do it at kangan??

over there it only costs $3000 (with VTG) and you attend more classes per week (I.E. 3 days face to face instead of 2 days face to face).

@clara_tanone I'm studying full time at Skills Training Australia, so that's 3 days in a row per week. $8000 is the govt. subsidised fee and I am eligible for a VET FEE HELP loan, which allows me to study now and pay the tuition later. Plus, I heard from past students who are in uni now, that it is a good provider. Also, it's like 10 mins away from where I live, which is great.

That's good that you finally decided on where you would like to study. If you need more resources for Anatomy & Physiology, (cos there is a chance) I found a site where they offer free textbooks online, which I use and is pretty helpful. You can PM me for more details if you like :) 

Good luck OP!
