I have been a student at Charles Sturt University for the past six years, and from the beginning of my admission journey commencing, till present, I have always felt supported and sincerely cared for as a student with all of my queries and questions being addressed with nothing but above and beyond efforts.
The VET option was applicable to my circumstances as I did experience bullying in high school, resulting in my study goals bearing an interruption, as I had to leave high school and complete my tertiary education via TAFE NSW. The slight hiccup did worry me, as I had not completed high school within an actual high school environment, but I didn’t let this stop me from furthering allowing my study journey and career goals come to life.
As I reflect on my journey when I first enrolled to study, my admission experience with Charles Sturt via a Vocational Education and Training ‘VET’ pathway was the most seamless process I have ever encountered, and allowed me to start my study journey without worrying about if my admission would be accepted because based upon the thorough communication I received, I had great confidence there would be no issues of any kind with my admission.
The VET pathway provided me with wonderful exposure to showcase my prior learnings with the credits I had accumulated, in order to be successful in attaining my admission with Charles Sturt University to further pursue my knowledge and excel my career goals.
Following my admission being accepted by Charles Sturt University, the feeling of happiness upon receiving my study acceptance offer was truly indescribable. I frequently reflect on my VET admission experience, as the entire process was utterly fantastic, fast forward many years later post my study acceptance offer, the learnings that I have absorbed from Charles Sturt University have been crucial for my personal and professional development which has shaped my career in ways unimaginable.
The Student Central team and orientation department at Charles Sturt University provided me with nothing but thoroughly organised communication, all while making the admission experience nothing but joyous and exciting, allowing me the opportunity to focus on my career with no stress, negativity, or challenges whatsoever.
To anyone that has completed the relevant groundwork with prior learnings, I strongly recommend that you proceed and utilise your credits byway of a VET pathway admission with Charles Sturt University to start your career or enhance your already existing your career, as my personal experience was truly a breeze, and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat because my career wouldn’t be where it is, if I didn’t submit an admission with Charles Sturt University.
