“The college aims to transform students’ lives through accessible and high-quality education to craft cultural and civic leader for the advancement of a diverse global community”

Educators are the most vital part in any educational ecosystem. Creativity to successfully align technologies with content and pedagogy, balance to apply instructions with teaching methods, education policies, and standards defines a good educator. Ace educators proactively act as a mentor, coach, team teacher in learning communities. Sydney based Canterbury Business College has such educators that are supportive and always enthusiastic for the continuous improvement of its students.

The most unique trait about Canterbury Business College is its focus on technical courses, practical set of skills and a hands-on attitude, which contribute to obtaining employment straight after or even before graduation of the course undertaken. This college is very keen to help students throughout the student lifecycle and inculcate in them different sets of skills as per industry needs. In class, students learn how to solve problems and how to deal with a different mix of cultures; they are often confronted with a problem to solve in groups.

For example, in its Cookery program, a problem could be as simple as distinguishing between different kinds of sauces, or as complex as how to cook according to different customer requests such as halal, vegetarian, and gluten free. To find a solution they are separated in groups and given time in their industrial kitchen. If required, students can ask for practically anything they need, such as more training in one or two specific recipes or extra classes.

Another very good quality of Canterbury Business College is its rather high rank and great reputation. It offers a long history, quality in education, and flexibility in student’s administrative requests.

The college location is such that it fascinates the passers-by: it is fantastic; right next to Central Station, in the funky suburb of Surry Hills. Students have the advantage of a modest building with seven levels, and lots of facilities such as a mini library, kitchen, computer labs, and English school – Canterbury Language Academy, in the same building for students who need to complete English studies prior to their vocational studies. Moreover, there is lot of greenery and pubs/restaurants within walking distance of the college even then maintaining a quiet environment.
