Kmart Centre, Level 3/222 Bourke Street Mall, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

I wouldn't recommend ACAP to anyone. Their courses are way too expensive and there is no support post qualification. I wish that I did my homework better as there are similar courses with other institutions at a better price. I studied a Diploma of Counselling and I can say the educators were very good and well qualified. Other than that, I would seriously look elsewhere and consider your options. The so called support staff do absolutely nothing to assist you post course. In fact they pass everyone regardless of their knowledge and input into the course simply to continue receiving funding. I know for a fact that several students received their Diplomas and were not even up to the academic standard. I was told by a very rude staff member, "aren't you happy you passed"? That was a reply I received when I questioned the diplomas being awarded to everyone. I put so much effort into this course with 100% attendance just to find out after a year that it was a complete waste of time and money. I now have a substantial VET FEE debt and virtually no hope of ever getting into a counselling role. No one will employ you without experience and getting into voluntary work is almost impossible as other students are doing their placement. This is why this particular course should have a compulsory element of work placement to ensure students have the best chance to secure roles in their chosen field.
