Centre for Continuing Education - University of Sydney 160 Missenden Road, Newtown, New South Wales 2042

"Wish I had read the reviews before attending… this was the worst up-skilling experience I have had. The teachers for each course were glamourised scammers, spouting harmful messages about “people from concentration camps choosing to be victims when they could have made the most out of their lives” and that the women in the class would have a hard time practising a speech that was written for men. There were also other things that came up and one of the two teachers was just completely incompetent. The fact that this is associated with the University of Sydney implies the people taking these classes are good at what they do or have some skill but after making a complaint I was told I wasn’t eligible for compensation because they flicked through the slideshow and ticked the box. Would never ever ever go here and suggest everyone save their money."

"BEWARE - awful customer service and TERRIBLE language courses Take great care in purchasing anything from this centre as their insane cancellation policy is 24 hrs from date of purchase. A refund was refused even in the case of a serious health situation - absolutely zero compassion, disgusting and shameful. The Italian language course that I have done in the past was also absolutely awful - the teacher spoke English very badly and generally, the course was just all over the place, she was impossible to understand and follow, could not answer questions properly, I learned almost nothing (and I generally have no problems with learning). Stay away. Go to the Italian Institute to learn Italian."

"Had the worst experience of my life here, I went there for a company funded training course for SQL and the instructor had the worst attitude. Even though i told him at beginning that i have no experience in SQL but still he singled me out in class and constantly bombard me with humiliating lines like "you are slowing down the whole class" , "your peers are miles ahead of you" and the list is long he could have just ignored me and carry on with the class but he chose to humiliate me in front of whole class, will never go there again and will not recommend this place to anyone"

"Good courses offered to gain continuous learning! I tried two couses: Data Visualisation & Story Telling and Business Analytics course, both are 8-hour course in 1 day. The facilitators have good real life example from field, and can let you appreciate the concepts better. It can help with personal growth and career improvement. I would highly recommend these courses."

"I did a beginner's German language course here and I was very disappointed. Firstly there were 20 people in the course - which is just too many for a language class. Secondly despite being advertised as a complete beginners course, most of the other students enrolled had done German before, so they completely dominated group work and had no patience with any one who was a genuine beginner. The tutor was competent enough I guess, but as others have mentioned the CCE customer service either completely rude or non-existent. Once they have your money they don't care what kind of an experience you have."
