My cae experience has been bad and I have the support of class mates in my complaints about the poor quality standards in their CertIV community services at Flinders lane.
Teachers don't turn up on time or just don't turn up and when they do its amateur hour with clichés and buzz words but no real content or subject matter that will serve in the real world and staff have an over reliance of the student web technology that fails constantly leading to lost assessments and generally creates constant barriers to learning.
Combine this with admin attitudes that won't own their failures and either blame students or government cuts for their poor delivery and productivity and you have the exact apathy that is endemic to an inevitable system failure-avoid CAE like the plague Rmit or Swinburne or even some of the private organisations are better learning options Cae have a public servant bludger mentality that can only be fixed by an intense audit into its admin culture!
