Comments previously added
I completed a Bachelor of ECE Teaching upgrade with Open Polytechnic in May this year. I found the program well resourced, current and relevant. When I had questions the online tutors answered them promptly and efficiently. I would definitely recommend to others. Administration staff were also efficient and helpful and online website easy to use. (Antonia Mountfort 2014-11-17)
