ITHEA - Gov Subsidised Courses in Individual Support, Child Care, Aged Care, Disability & Family Intervention Melbourne 128 Google reviews Hazel Bunag2025-09-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My Experience at ITHEA – Highly Recommended! As an international student, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience than the one I had at ITHEA. From the moment I began processing my paperwork to the day I completed my course in Certificate III & Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care, the entire team was incredibly supportive and professional. Every staff member at ITHEA went above and beyond to assist students. They were consistently reliable, approachable, and genuinely helpful. A special thank you to my assessor Faiza Asif, who guided us through the course with patience and dedication your support made a real difference. Thank you, ITHEA! I wholeheartedly recommend this school to anyone looking to study in Melbourne. Penny and Peter. Thank you so much for all your help. Jig Lumactud2025-08-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My journey with ITHEA has been nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning till the end, the staff have been incredibly supportive, approachable, and genuinely committed to helping students succeed not just academically, but personally and professionally. One of the standout aspects of ITHEA is their dedication to helping students find work placements. They don’t just offer guidance they actively assist and persist until you secure one. Their commitment is unwavering, and it truly makes a difference. I’d like to highlight a few exceptional individuals who made my experience unforgettable: - Penny was instrumental in helping me transfer my enrollment from Aged Care to Early Childhood Education. The process was smooth and stress-free, thanks to her efficiency and understanding. - Alex, the student manager, showed great compassion by granting me a leave of absence due to personal circumstances. Her empathy and flexibility were deeply appreciated. - Peter Kyriaco consistently checked in with students to ensure we were having a positive experience. He actively sought feedback to improve ITHEA’s services, showing genuine care for student voices. - Faiza, my trainer, was incredibly sweet and patient. She guided us through every step of our theories and assessments, making sure we understood and felt supported throughout. But it wasn’t just these individuals every single staff member at ITHEA has been amazing. They are all approachable, understanding, and always ready to help students in any way they can. Whether it's academic support, personal guidance, or career assistance, the entire team works together to create a nurturing and empowering environment. ITHEA isn’t just an educational institution it’s a community that truly cares. They understand that every student has unique circumstances and they go above and beyond to accommodate and support us. I’m grateful for everything they’ve done and highly recommend ITHEA to anyone looking for a compassionate and student-focused learning experience.

I had the privilege of learning from Vicky during my community services course, and she is truly one of the most dedicated and supportive teachers I’ve come across. Her knowledge of the sector, clear teaching style, and genuine passion for helping others made the learning experience both engaging and practical. Vicky always created a respectful and inclusive environment where every student felt valued. She went above and beyond to support us, both academically and personally. I’m really grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her as a teacher to anyone pursuing a career in community services. Yuwanart Malayavech2025-07-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I graduated Diploma of Community Service course, in addition that I was about to finish my course with Vicky, who has been nothing but super supportive of all my decisions, and helped me along the way. She monitored me & always asks if I needed assistance which in my opinion she is the only trainer that teaches international’s student and actually cares about their students & gave life changing advice. Thank you everyone at ITHEA, trainers, staff & students whom I made great connection with for allowing me to gained my 1st college qualifications & always allowing me to be my true authentic self. ITHEA is the best college I have ever been to & will recommend to anyone. #classof2024 Alina Ng2025-07-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
