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

Study at the Hader Insitute

Picking the right place to learn isn't just about the course content. Neglecting the emotional aspects of professional development, education providers frequently emphasise information delivery alone. When you're already juggling work alongside personal responsibilities, it can be hard to identify practical, supportive ways to gain the skills required to build a rewarding career. At Hader Institute of Education, we recognise that pursuing careers in Community Services, Mental Health, Youth Work, and Alcohol and Other Drugs starts with having a learning environment where students' emotional wellbeing is supported as they work towards professional growth. One way we do this as a nationally recognised online training provider is by designing our programs to be flexible so that we can cater to students with diverse life circumstances. Regardless of whether you're changing from your current position to a role where you can make a bigger change or you're starting fresh, you can depend on us to provide a supportive and inclusive setup.

As for those drawn to Youth Work training, we also have online courses that help you build the skills and confidence to impact young Australian lives through roles like Youth Outreach Worker or Youth Services Coordinator. We offer a learning experience that's flexible yet structured, no matter if you choose to take one of these courses or opt to study other fields, such as Alcohol and Other Drugs or Community Services.
