I decided to study Certificate III in Aged Care at SGSCC because my agency introduced the College to me. Initially, I had no idea about a college that was located outside the city because I have done many courses in the city. My first day at the College, I found out it was easy for me to catch the train from the city and it took only 35 minutes. I have been studying at SGSCC International almost three months. I am impressed. I have had many positive experiences. The trainers are experts and experienced; not only do they teach me about Aged Care, they also integrate ethics, socialising and knowledge together and encourage students to learn more as a student centre. All of my classmates are nice and friendly, they are from different countries around the world. As a result, I enjoy studying with them because it provides opportunities to learn about their languages, cultures and make social networks. The Community College is located in a green, natural environment which is so refreshing for students who are used to small square rooms in the city.

21 Student views... Hi, I am Jakesfer, I live in Penrith. Many people keep asking me why study at SGSCC? They keep telling me I should transfer to the school near my place. Though my travel time is around two hours just going to school I don t mind it all because I can say it is worth it going to SGSCC. At SGSCC I m having fun while learning new things regarding my course, Aged Care Certificate III. Learning from best trainers and served by caring staffs of the school, I feel like SGSCC is my second home. I can only say SGSCC is like a home where I learn and where I belong.
