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 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.
High
Level of Computer Skills
Macleay is one of a very few tertiary institutions still offering
a full year’s computer training in every course. Macleay has small classes
taught by fully qualified computer trainers. There is no self-teaching. Our
lecturers attend every class. Macleay graduates receive a separate computer
qualification and a statement of academic record provides full details of
every computer module completed.
- computer class sizes comprise 8 to 12 students
- computer training is conducted every week over the four terms of the year
- software programs essential to hospitality training: touch-typing, word processing (Microsoft Word), accounting (MYOB), spreadsheets (Microsoft Excel), database systems (Microsoft Access), presentation skills (Microsoft Powerpoint), online communication (Microsoft Outlook) and hotel reservations and accounting (Fidelio).
- fully qualified specialist computer trainers are in attendance in every class
- students have access to computer practice throughout the college's opening hours, not just in timetabled classes
Government Accreditation
The Macleay course is
fully accredited by the New South Wales Government’s Vocational Education
and Training Accreditation Board. Macleay qualifications are recognised internationally,
wherever Australian educational credentials are recognised.

Student Counselling
Macleay’s educational philosophy is to provide personal attention
to students. This includes the ability for students to access welfare related
support services to assist with academic, social or personal issues that may
arise during their study including course progress, attendance requirements

free advice to all students. Where a student requires professional advice,
