Quality of Education
The reason for Macleay’s success is the quality of education it provides. The college was founded by educationalists whose philosophy is based on small classes and individual attention. Macleay has better staff/student ratios, better qualified lecturers, better computer and equipment ratios and smaller classes than any educational institution in its field. Macleay lecturers have tertiary qualifications and teach only in their own fields. A substantial number of staff lecture at the college while maintaining current positions at executive level in the industry. Macleay’s policy is that current professional practice is essential for tertiary educators to provide relevant, up-to-date skills and good contacts within industry.

Advanced Diploma or Diploma after one year
Macleay's courses allow students to qualify for an award at Advanced Diploma or Diploma level in one year. Because they qualify after one year, Macleay graduates have a considerable edge on other students, both in terms of earnings from their salaries and advancement in their careers.

Industry and Government accreditation
Macleay courses have the highest level of accreditation possible for a vocational college to gain. The Macleay course is fully accredited by the New South Wales Department of Education and Training and the Vocational Education and Training Accreditation Board (VETAB).

Industry Interaction
Macleay’s philosophy is to interact education with industry wherever possible. In practical classes, students work with the latest systems in use in industry. Regular classes are supplemented by guest lectures by well-known industry identities, and by industry visits and excursions.

Qualifications for Enrolment

Conditions of Enrolment
Enrolments are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis for applicants who fulfil one of the above three criteria. There are a limited number of places in most courses so applicants are advised to enrol early. To apply for enrolment, please follow the application procedure as outlined in the Macleay College Handbook. Applicants will be notified by return mail whether their application is successful. Enrolments from current Year 12 students will be accepted on condition of their completion of the HSC.

Student Counselling
Part of Macleay’s educational philosophy is to provide personal attention to students. Our student administrators are available to students for consultation and advice on academic, social and personal issues. The course co-ordinator of each faculty also counsels individual students about their progress in the course and in their career decisions. Students are assisted to prepare a personal résumé and a professional portfolio that presents their work in its best light.
