Alliance College | Adelaide Main Campus

My trainer Chef Anthony and Chef Sneha were great! They explained things in a simple and clear way, making it easy to understand the material. They were always patient, willing to answer questions, and made sure everyone felt comfortable participating. The classes were engaging and enjoyable, and I learned a lot from them. Their support and guidance really made a difference in my learning experience.

Had the best learning experience here at Alliance College! Big thanks to my cert 3 trainer Chef anthony for teaching me the skills in the kitchen and helping me build my confidence and work ethic in the kitchen. Thank you for sharing your passion to creating delicious food. And for always creating opportunities for us to showcase our skills. And to my cert 4 and diploma in hospitality trainer Chef Sneha Chowdhury, thank you for the genuine care you have for your students and for pushing us to be real professionals in the kitchen, you taught us what the industry is really like and always encouraged us to push ourselves to be better. Learned so much from managing kitchen to understanding how the industry is like outside through your experiences. Thank you Alliance Team, Chef Anthony and Chef Sneha!

Hello everyone, my name is Haoyuan Li. I am from Kunming, China. Alliance College is my first stop when I came to Adelaide. It provides me with a quiet learning environment and a rich spare time. Thumbs up for Alliance College

I think the pastry class is really good, a lot of fun, even for us that English is not first language, Lee is very skillful and understanding, even we ask millions of questions in class, the kitchen class is always so good that my family enjoy all the food I take home 哈哈。

Studying in this collage was a big mistake because: 1. I was never explained the true meaning of: "the classes are circular". When I started the course, I arrived at unit 6 of 12, so all the theory necessary to understand the activities had already been explained. Added to that, the teacher always said: "we already saw that in unit 1,2 or 3" without taking into account that many students had no idea what she was talking about. 2. My classroom had no ventilation grills, so in summer when it was 40 degrees, it was like being inside a sauna, when I saw this situation I commented to one of the teachers, if it was possible to buy a fan. The 3 months of summer were over and I never got an answer. Then in winter when it was 9 degrees Celsius. There was never any heating. 3. The excursions proposed by the teachers were not prepared, they just took us to walk through a park or to an event (organised by the Australian government) without the slightest idea of what it was about or what we could find there. There was no prepared speech or lecture and many times (like when we went to the botanical garden) they didn't know what time the place closed, and we ended up basically running to get out before the doors closed. 4. In particular my teacher most of the lessons had grammatical mistakes, she didn't know the answer to the exercises, she even often had an exercise from the BRITISH COUNCIL and she didn't know the answer either. It's as if he never took the time to prepare the class he was going to give. Being from another country their pronunciation was totally different from Australian pronunciation. One time she even commented that she had to revise for exams outside of working hours. The collage toilets are always dirty and have a very particular smell. A smell as if they had not been washed properly for weeks. 6. The kitchen (available to students) had no cutlery, the dishwasher was always dirty, the sponge used to wash the dishes seemed to be more than 6 months old. 7. On one occasion, we were put to watch a film (we students hoped that by watching the film we could practice our pronunciation and vocabulary) in which the actors DID NOT SPEAK! The film lasted more than an hour and the actors could not speak because the plot of the film was that if they spoke, they would be attacked by a monster. 8. The teachers who teach you are NOT NATIVE so often their pronunciation or the words they use are obsolete for the way people speak in Australia. 9. Despite having students from 5pm until 9pm, after 5pm there is no one at the reception in case the students have any questions or need to solve anything. Not to mention that a homeless man broke into one of the collage rooms and tried to STEAL a student's handbag.

This school is really good, the instructors are very nice, they help the students to achieve our dreams. I would recommend this school for international or local students.

Sneha is one of the kindest and most dedicated teachers I have met. She explains things patiently and is always willing to help.
