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 real estate training: touch-typing, word processing (Microsoft Word), spreadsheets (Microsoft Excel), database systems (Microsoft Access), presentation skills (Microsoft Powerpoint), accounting (MYOB) and real estate account management (RestPro).
- 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

Vocational Education and Training Accreditation Board and endorsed by the Office
of Fair Trading. Macleay qualifications are recognised internationally,
