Real support from start to finish
Kylie Jackson

Kylie Jackson, Placement Coordinator

“It’s not just about availability of students and matching that to what works for centres. Matching students to centres involves really getting to know the student and the centres and giving both the best experience from placement.”
Mary Fennessy

Mary Fennessy, LLN Student Support Coordinator

“Many students can’t come in. Some are already working, live too far away or have children at home. But there’s always ways around it and I always try and find a way that works for them.”

Jennifer Singh shared a review explaining why Selmar and our committed trainers give you a supportive study experience that gets results.
 
“Selmar is a great institute to study with. They are VERY supportive and helpful whether it’s needing some motivation to keep going, or pointing to the right direction in finding the right answers to the questions. The trainers are all lovely and do their best to help you get that qualification! Would definitely recommend Selmar to my friends and family.”
