Amazing working culture

Amazing working culture. Always supportive especially when my mum passed away. Justin was amazing and still is amazing as a campus manager. I enjoy going to work everyday and i feel like its a family with very supportive and engaging staff. The most enjoyable part is seeing students grow and apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios.

I HAVE DONE CERT III IN PATHOLOGY COURSE ......

I recently completed my Certificate III in Pathology Collection at IHNA through online , and I had an excellent experience!
My teacher, Thilini, was extremely enthusiastic, friendly, and knowledgeable. She delivered valuable lectures, demonstrated excellent practical skills, and shared her real-world experience in pathology collection. Her teaching made learning both enjoyable and insightful.
I also want to appreciate Teacher Poonam at IHNA Parramatta Campus, who provided hands-on training in blood collection. Her guidance in practical skills was incredibly helpful.
A special thanks IT Team for their outstanding support, especially for online students. They were always responsive and ready to assist, making the learning process smooth and accessible. It truly felt like they were just a doorstep away whenever we needed help.
The overall learning environment was welcoming and professional.
I highly recommend IHNA to anyone considering a career in pathology collection!

Great experience of nursing course

I am on the semester two of diploma of nursing course, and I do have good experience with IHNA. Educators are extremely supportive, enthusiastic and helpful. I have class with Suman, and Sherin in Sydney Campus and I am happy with that. Admin staffs are nice, too. Anyway, questions with placement are not answered properly which does not satisfy me. Generally, this is the place I highly recommend to pursue nursing course in Sydney.

IHNA Melbourne/Sydney

I highly recommend IHNA Melbourne and Sydney, I have had a great experience completing my Cert III in Pathology. I was educated by Poonam, Joel and Nirmal over the course of my study whom are all very friendly and eager to help you learn! Poonam was my lead educator; is friendly, very welcoming, patient and approachable and made online classes super easy to understand and fun! All 3 educators teaching style is clear and engaging. They are all very knowledgable in what they are teaching and are also extremely helpful and assistive! I would highly recommend IHNA, and would love to thank my educators for making my study fun and that bit easier!

I am incredibly grateful to Joseph

I am incredibly grateful to Joseph, Josephine, and Ranjana for their invaluable contributions to my success in the Sterilisation course. Their engaging presentation style, coupled with ample opportunities for questions and real-life discussions, created a truly enjoyable and informative learning experience. This course has surpassed my expectations, providing both personal and professional insights. I highly recommend IHNA to anyone considering this field of study.

A Student’s Worst Nightmare

I'm writing this review to warn potential students about my absolutely horrible experience with IHNA. From the moment I enrolled, it was clear that this institution was NOT COMMITTED to providing a decent education.

Awful Student Support: IHNA's student support team is a joke. They seem more interested in avoiding problems than in actually helping students. When I encountered difficulties, their responses were delayed, unhelpful, and often dismissive.

Inconsistent Curriculum and Assessments: The online classes at IHNA are a complete mess. There's no standardisation between campuses, leading to confusion and frustration. For example, students in Perth were required to attend in-person assessments for a specific course, while those in Melbourne were not. It's a complete lack of fairness and organisation.

Unreasonable and Unfair Assessments: IHNA's assessments are nothing short of ridiculous. The expectations are unrealistic, and the criteria are often irrelevant to the course content. I was shocked to find that I needed to achieve a perfect score of 100% on a 50+ question quiz with only two attempts. It's a recipe for stress and failure.

If you're considering IHNA, please do yourself a favour and LOOK ELSEWHERE. This institution is a WASTE OF TIME, MONEY, AND ENERGY. I'm deeply disappointed and regret ever choosing them as my education provider.

Avoid! Terrible course, terrible organisation

Any good reviews must be paid or AI or scam because this is the worst run education provider I have ever experienced. Terribly run, terrible learning resources, terrible support, unprofessional, disorganised, untruthful, confusing, horrible experience. Do not study through them, it is a total waste of your time and you will not learn to the level you require to be competent. They only care about money and doing as little as possible for it.

Well recommended. Deserves more than just a 5 stars rating.

I’m so happy taking my course in this institution. I enjoyed every day attending the class. Everyone's is friendly and supportive. The class is really relevant and totally engaging. Josephine Robarts will go far and beyond to help her students to learn and become successful Technicians. I wish i have learned about IHNA before engaging in other institutions in the past that only interested in your money. I will give more than 5 stars for IHNA. Well recommended. I wish you all the best team IHNA. May you continue to dedicate in helping your students become successful in whatever they endeavour from your institution.

Ummm

During my 2 years with IHNA, i've noticed how disorganised and poorly planned everything is in this institute and how badly the management handle issues. Thankfully, I had a wonderful, patient, and understanding trainer in the ECEC department but she's evidently very overworked because of all these problems/issues that management throws at her; (sometimes she has to handle 3 classes in one day: 1 face to face and the other 2 were classes in the other states handled online by her). There would be so many students that would ask for support and the management would have question marks written all over their faces.
What really pushed me to write this review is during my last part of my Diploma course. I had to do 280hours of placement which started a bit late because of timetable miscalculations. So instead of starting my placement on the day i was supposed to or was written on timetable i ended up starting my placement two weeks later of the supposed date. I assumed since I started late I'd end a bit later too but, towards the end of my placement I got a message from my teacher that I needed to finish exactly on the day that was on my CoE (out of her control) because apparently IHNA can't do any more extensions because they've gotten a bit stricter now. So my placement was cut short and mind you, along with this placement we had a Placement book that had almost 200 pages filled with templates I needed to answer. Thankfully when I got the message I only had 4 more templates to finish up in the book, but obviously I had to rush so I could submit it the next day. I barely had any time go do some double checking. So I was able to submit my book three days before my "final deadline" which could give my teacher some time to check all my answers (poor woman) and see if there were any areas i needed to correct. And surprise surprise there were indeed a few things in my answers I needed to correct, and we've also noticed there were a couple of missing templates in the PEP book too, so I had to go to the campus, print those missing templates then answer the templates which took almost a total of 6hrs. When we finally got to finalise and finish everything, I had to go to officeworks afterwards so I could scan it. Just wanted to bring this up as well; students have limited access to free printing or scanning (which is questionable because I paid 20k AUD for my two years and I'm pretty sure other students as well, or even more) in the campus so I ended up paying $55 at officeworks for scanning 200 pages. Everything was just SO SO RUSHED which made everything super stressful and confusing.
NOW this is a bonus story which almost drove me to insanity.

I also had one unit that I needed to redo (not a big one would probably take 1hr to do) this is my fault for forgetting about it. So I went on my laptop and LET ME TELL YOU I WAS STRUGGLING to LOG IN TO MY STUDENT HUB ????? i was literally trying to login for almost two hours i had to borrow my roommate's laptop too (i logged in on my phone but the redo was a template in the unit so it was hard to do it on mobile) BUT still couldn't get in because of some silly glitch.

Anyways it's 9pm & my last day is tomorrow, 2nd of July. Supposed to complete everything by now but I'm still locked out of my account. Thankfully I got to attach my pdf file of my scanned PEP book using my phone. But theres so much a girl can do.

pray for me pray for my teacher BLESS HER for real.

Would probs give lesser stars if it wasn't for my teacher, Leticia Ty. So patient & helpful. Pretty sure she's suffered worse.
