Testimonials
Poppy Calhoun, a business and equine studies student, knew she had a job in business administration before she’d even finished her course last year.
“I might not have got this job if not for Box Hill Institute. They gave me the education and skills development that I needed.
“I wanted to work in the equine industry but needed to get a job so I decided to do a business course.
“I chose TAFE because it’s so much more practical.”
Dulip Kreeraj, from Mauritius, has gained valuable work experience at the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games through his patisserie course in Box Hill Institute’s hospitality department.
“This kitchen at the Melbourne Cricket Ground is the second largest in Melbourne. What we learned in pastry at Box Hill Institute we got to apply there in large quantities.
“If I have to work in a small kitchen later, it will be very easy for me now—it would be no big deal.
“I came to Box Hill Institute because I read on the Internet that pastry courses at other TAFEs were not as good—you’re supposed to be learning how to be a pastry chef not how to make coffee.
“The teachers at Box Hill Institute are great and the thing I like is that they have experience from industry and they can come back and give the best to the students.”
