"Great tutor and career opportunities – I recently completed an Advanced Diploma in Community Sector Management, along with my previous qualifications and experience; it has given me entry into a Graduate Certificate and a job offer as a Behaviour Support Practitioner. A huge shout-out to my trainer, Rosan, who made the learning process enjoyable and effective. Rosan was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, taking the time to explain complex concepts and answer every question thoroughly. His encouragement and clear teaching style made a real difference. He was always available and willing to help at a moment's notice. I feel much more confident in my skills and ready to apply what I've learned in real-life scenarios. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to advance their knowledge in this field. Thank you for a great learning experience!"AleishaAdvanced Diploma of Community Sector Management
