Real students. Real skills. Real support.
Our international students come from all over the world to build job-ready skills in Sydney. Here are their stories, in their own words, about the courses they chose, the pathways they are following, and the team that supports them every step of the way.
Davide Prati, Italy - Certificate IV in Disability
"I highly recommend the college. I love the friendly place where I am learning all about working with people with disabilities. The trainers and the team are excellent and put students first. I would love to work in the community sector one day, bringing together my interest in fitness and support work."
Aliana - Certificate IV in Disability Support
"You become part of a community that wants you to succeed. This is a place where you gain real knowledge and feel truly supported. The trainers are competent and passionate, and they make sure you build both the theory and the practical skills you need for the workplace. You are not just a student here. The values of respect, integrity and belonging show up in every part of the learning journey."
Melody, Philippines - Certificate IV in Disability Support
"You can always count on the international team. It feels homely here, and the international team are so supportive. You can count on them even during the holidays when you are struggling with anything. For your studies, they give you all the resources you need to learn. I feel confident that I have gained the skills I need, and there are many pathways to choose from depending on where you want to go."
Anbela, Chile - Certificate III in Individual Support
"The school looks after its students. The advice and support I received when I chose this school made me feel excited to start. I am using aged care as a study pathway towards nursing. It has helped me learn about health, law and other areas of nursing. The school takes care of its students and gives us great facilities."
Mayumi, Japan - Certificate III in Individual Support
"What I like most is the class and what we learn. When I first started I was nervous, but the teachers always smiled and made me feel welcome. Care work can be tough, but here the teachers remind us to respect the people we support. I am building my English and my aged care skills at the same time, and I want to keep studying towards my nursing goal."
Alina, Russia - Individual Support & Aged Care
"I have felt supported every step of the way." I was looking for a good place to start studying in Australia and found SGSCC while searching for community colleges with aged care and individual support courses. It stood out for the great reviews and the welcoming atmosphere for international students. The staff truly understand what we need and are always ready to help. It has helped me feel more confident and prepared."
Andrea, Ecuador - Certificate IV in Mental Health
"The course has met my expectations. I have learned so much. I have always been interested in how our mind works and how important a healthy mind is for our wellbeing, so I came to Australia to deepen my studies. My agency and I agreed SGSCC was the best choice. I have learned that mental health is not only in a clinic, it is in our everyday lives. I have already recommended SGSCC to other international students."
Sophia - Diploma of Mental Health
"I learned beyond my expectations. Since childhood, I have been curious about how the mind works and how our words can affect someone's mental health. I found all those answers in the course. I now use the skills and knowledge I learned in my everyday life. If you are looking for a place that is rich with opportunities and support, join us. The international student team, the placement team and the trainers all want you to have the best learning experience."
Aysha, Pakistan - Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care
"This course fits my career goals perfectly. I first heard about SGSCC through an education agent, and its strong reputation for quality and student support caught my attention. I researched online and spoke with current students, which made me even more sure. I chose this course because it covers both the theory and the practical skills, and I was impressed by the facilities, the experienced trainers and the supportive, multicultural environment."
Evan, Philippines - Certificate IV in Disability Support
"SGSCC became my second home. The management and trainers are very supportive. I want to keep working in aged and disability care and grow more competent in the field. SGSCC helped shape me into the best version of who I am today."
