It is tafe, it's just called institute of technology :-) I think once upon a time it was just Southbank Tafe...

They don't like you calling it TAFE. They're trying to move away from that, and seem to somehow think that makes them classier, more exclusive, and therefore more attractive to international students, who pay better money than us plebs and don't know the difference when the teachers fairly well ignore them through their entire course.

I'm also involved in Children's Services. I was enrolled in an Advanced Diploma there but have pulled out due to the lack of support - I am not giving them my money and getting nothing in return except a bundle of papers they have bought from another institute. I have supervised 5 of their students, and the level of support from staff (for me or for the student) has been dismal for every single one. One of them wasn't even visited by a teacher, and the institute had no plans to send anyone out to see her, until I contacted the head of school and kicked up a fuss. Not really fair for the student - if I'd been a cow and wanted to fail her, I could have, and she wouldn't have been able to do anything about it, because the tafe wouldn't have known any different.
