South Metropolitan TAFE Munster campus - Munster, Western Australia

I'm having a great experience here. The management is lovely and cooperative, especially Nataly Diaz and Kit.

On the other hand, the teachers are also very supportive. Ferdous, Al-Amin, Murali, Dylan, Chris, and many others are excellent.

I'm not sure about the future, but at the moment, I'm really enjoying studying here.

The 2 star rating is being held up from 1 based on 2 instructors, Chris Jones and Martin Cavanagh. Without these 2 being present, the rating for this Tafe would be in the negatives. these 2 instructors are fantastic! their potential is being wasted by the utter incompetence of the upper management. I believe the 2 course schedule managers could greatly benefit from attending some of the project management courses being conducted at this tafe. (Marylin & a different Chris)
Throughout the entire course I attended (Diploma Electronics & Communication) the only consistency was the learning week was conducted Mon-Fri. What was taught, was a complete mystery.
It took over an entire WEEK before my class even had access to the computer system, which our entire course assignments were to be based upon. When the only explanation Marylin could give was "It should be completed sometime today" occurring for the entire week. Her secondary role seems to be push the blame to a mysterious off campus entity so so hide the lack of job knowledge.
Adding in the miscommunication that occurred on an almost hourly basis, being completely assured of *insert scenario here* and then when came time to action, it was either the polar opposite, or something entirely different was invented.
I would highly suggest conducting whatever learning you desire at a different campus (if SMT is unavoidable) or just try harder to find a different institute to deliver the content.
Coupled with the campus being extremely outdated even experiencing an "update" there is NO facilities for canteen within, 2 vending machines service the entire campus and are conveniently located right next to the foremost mentioned management.

Again, the instructors themselves were fantastic! Completely and utterly let down by the sheer incompetence of people who are charged to manage the younger generations education. Pathetic, spineless people are not who you want to be making decisions that effect a persons future career.

Am planning to start a diploma in construction design which is very relevant to my field as a civil engineer, but the only thing I cant decide on how to travel to Munster, by car it will take 45 minutes and by Train and bus will take above 100 minutes, its way far from my location i wish they transfer those important courses to Thornlie or somewhere a central location where it is accessible to everyone easily. I hope it will be manageable. (31Jan2023 Post Admission review: I have started my course and the good thing is I took online for about 65% and went for few face to face classes or Lab/examination, overall, it is manageable and i will recommend it, I hope the 2nd semester will also be easy to manage)

One star only! Absolutely piece of S#&t !!!!!!!!!!!!! Some lecturers are really helpful and want to teach, and more importantly they want us to understand. Contrarily, the other part of the lecturers are only there to make MONEY FOR DOING NOTHING AND ACT AS IF THEY WERE DOING SOMETHING IMPORTANT. Seriously, what is the point of paying 7.5k grand to do something that any idiot with a tiny bit of patience could easily do it at home for free. MOREOVER, the organisation of the college as a whole is a total mess, by starting from the illogical timetables which may put a class at 10:30am at one day and the next day at 10am (What is the matter of making it different?). That is definitely NOT what a serious educational institution should be like. Nobody that I know is happy with it; not even the locals, that pay less then half of the price.
I DO NOT recommend this course/college to anybody unless they want to WASTE a huge amount of money to not be recognized by any company/industry. This institution is NOT preparing students for the workforce, instead they are only making business out of it, specially the Internationals. It is a shame to write this review/complaint but the truth has to be shown. GO TO UNI! Go to Murdoch, ECU or any other and you will become qualified enough.

AN ABSOLUTE THUMBS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The lecturers here are absolutely lovely and if I was giving a rating solely on them it would be 5 stars, but the admin staff are absolutely hopeless. The tafe minimum a week to get back to you and 9/10 if they actually ever get back to you its with the wrong information. I have done two courses with them now (decided to give them. Second chance) and needless to say I will not be doing another one hear ever again. If you like dealing with incompetent staff then I highly recommend going here, if not I suggest you stear clear of this place...

The location of the Engineering collage is quite far away from the city.

Going to this tafe was such as waste of time and money, I don't recomend it to anyone, I will be finishing my course off in a different state.
