What our students have to say

"The learning environment is both supportive and informative. Compared to other institutions I’ve studied at, I can honestly say I’ve never felt so comfortable, accepted, and encouraged in an educational setting. The sense of being valued as a student makes a huge difference."
Maria Blackwood
"I think it’s tough for any adult to go back to studying after so long. Even though it was a big challenge, the Hader Institute supported me all the way. They guided me, kept me on track, and made me feel like I was part of something. But the real difference for me was Viki Hannah. Her kindness, patience, and encouragement really helped me move forward."
Dani Carpenter
"The best staff and study experience. Really positive environment and helping nature of everyone listening to the queries and everything. I am glad I made the right decision. My trainer Viki is the most supportive and emotionally intelligent woman. She is someone you can always rely upon."
Jasmeet Mann
"Cayan was an absolute pleasure to deal with as a teacher. He's very passionate about his role and it shows when you have a one on one with him.
He is very supportive and knowledgeable when it comes to tough topics you may be dealing with. I appreciate his guidance and responses and I would recommend him."
Ben Macgeorge
"I wanted to share how impressed I am with Hader Institute of education. I commenced certificate 4 in community services a couple of months ago and because of the brilliant support and the fabulous trainers I am excelling."
Lisa Claussen
