| MUHAMMAD SEEDAT | I attended the Diploma of Financial Services (Financial Planning) course at the International Institute of Technology for a period of 2 weeks in June 2009. I found the course to be very informative and yet at the same time easy to understand. The facilitator helped me understand the work by putting it into everyday life situations. I received incredible support from the staff at IIT in making new friends and keeping a great reference and referee in my facilitator. He also told me in life 'never give up and give it your best, always persist, with everything and in the end you will reap the rewards for your efforts'. With the completion of the Diploma through IIT I gained favourable advantage and was selected to study my Master's in Agribusiness Finance through Melbourne University. I would like to thank the IIT staff for all their help and providing the selection officers at the University of Melbourne with positive feedback on my behalf. |
| SUE STEYN | To study part time is daunting and to do it from a different continent is even more of a challenge, especially considering a nine hour time difference. I cannot believe my good fortune in choosing International Institute of Technology as my education provider as this has made all the difference. I have received incredible support from everyone at IIT. Every interaction I had with IIT was a pleasure, from the efficiency and response of feedback on assignments to assistance with questions I had. I found the manuals comprehensive and set out in an easily understandable way. Thanks to everyone at IIT who contributed to making my student experience such a pleasurable and successful one. |
| EVAN CHAN | The course consultant and the facilitator gave me very good advice about the course syllabus and requirements as well as what to look out for in identifying that the course is recognised by ASIC as satisfying the RG146 industry standards. This is critical especially for a non-Australian resident as I do not wish to study for something that is not recognised. The staff at IIT are also very knowledgeable, experienced and very prompt in answering my queries in relation to the coursework. My only regret is that I was not able to find the time to attend IIT's workshops and experience more interactive training. |
| ASIF GHAFOOR | After doing the taxation planning course I became more knowledgeable and was able to set up my own company. I did this because I count how valuable this strategy could be. By doing this course I gained a wealth of knowledge that even my accountant, solicitor and centrelink were unaware of. |
| JARED PEACH | The training was delivered in an easy to understand way and every individual in the class was included in the learning process. |
| PAUL GAFFNEY | I recently had the pleasure of completing the RG 146 through the intensive hands on course run by IIT very aptly led by the Facilitor. The attention to detail and personal approach from IIT in the prior weeks to attending the course was further amplified by the Facilitor and his professional and approachable educational manner. I have completed many industry courses over my time in the financial services industry, yet the IIT RG 146 course was the first time I have been entertained, inspired, encouraged, challenged to succeed, whilst gaining exception value out of professional development. Thanks again IIT, I will be looking forward to having you add value to my staff and business again. |
| IAN LITTLER | I found the workshop to be fun, with lots of interaction between the facilitator as well as the other people in the course. The environment was relaxed and everyone was wanting to help each other to complete the course. I would recommend the workshop method of doing the course as IIT fast-tracks completing the course and you get to meet lots of interesting people. |
| DIONNE JAMES | I have just completed the entire Diploma of Financial Planning by Distance Education. I have found the staff to be more than helpful and the structure of the course was perfect for my circumstances. I have two young children at home so the Distance Education worked well. I would highly recommend IIT to anyone considering undertaking the Diploma in Financial Planning. |
| MANISH SHARMA | The course guide and books are well written. They are very easy to understand and well researched in todayÕs complex and fluctuating economic environment. The staff are also very friendly and welcoming when approached for any course related enquiry. I found this course very educational for my personal and professional use. I recommend this course to anyone who is interested in financial markets and/or education. |
| PETER TRIBOLET | I had the unique pleasure of completing a Diploma of Financial Services (Financial Planning) through IIT Education via both Workshop and Distance Education. The course materials were extremely well written, easy to understand and really enlightening. Completing the assessments by Distance Education enabled me the flexibility to continue full-time work and achieve what I wanted in my studies. The way in which my studies at IIT Education commenced was through partaking in workshops for two of the modules. To say the presenter added and contributed knowledge, experience and guidance which could otherwise be learnt through distance learning is a massive understatement. The workshops were engaging, informative, educational, interesting and fun. I cannot recommend enough my support and happiness with the experience IÕve had through IIT. |
| ANTHONY LE | I am extremely impressed with the level of efficiency in the delivery, administration and response times of the organisation. The level of customer service and assistance offered by every single staff member has been of the absolute highest standard. I would like to thank IIT for their assistance in my unusual requests and will be forever appreciative. It has been a long time since I have dealt with such a great service organisation and will not hesitate to sing your praises. |
| MICHAEL GREEN | I completed half of my Diploma in a workshop and the other half by Distance Education. Both facilities were excellent and provided me with a clear path to assist me in obtaining my qualification. The staff are very approachable and extremely helpful. All of my questions were answered in a prompt and concise manner. A big thank you to IIT Ð keep up the good work! |

The IIT trainers explored the concepts in a way which I could relate to and therefore understand. Through the course I was able to gain valuable experiences and was therefore able to complete the Diploma in Financial Services (Financial Planning) in an enjoyable way. I especially found the way IIT explained mathematical problems and provided easy to follow solutions useful. I highly recommend IIT’s training methods. |

| PAUL STAFFORD | I attended the course as a real estate agent to get a stronger understanding of the financial services profession. The course was presented in a very clear and concise manner with the presenter excelling in demonstrating his knowledge. Anyone involved in presenting investment opportunities of any sort would be well armed by completing this course. |
| JULIUS TEO | The course was conducted in a professional and effective manner. The course materials are clear and concise. Support is excellent as the Facilitator and his team are always on hand to answer queries over the phone. Role plays are realistic and prepare students for the "real thing". Highly recommended for anyone considering their options! |
| JOHN COLOSSIMO | Unlike other training companies, I found the staff at IIT to be very personable and encouraging. I never felt like just another 'number'. Eventually, I was able to establish and run my own financial planning business and, without their support, I would not have been able to accomplish this. The staff are experienced financial services professionals and their 'inside knowledge' was invaluable to me during the initial stages of my business. |
| ANNA CHRISTIN YE-SUL KIM | I want to thank the trainers for their encouragement and for always being there at every stage of the course. It was nice to know they were always a phone call away when I needed assistance. I found the course structure easy to follow and thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you very much! |
