I learned a lot from Dr. Prasanta Pokharel during MH and FACPR training at ETC. I had a great experience and our trainer is very knowledgeable and supportive throughout the training. Highly recommend it. Thanks 😊

I’m lucky to know the ETC college in Auburn from one of my friends. After visiting the ETC college office at the first time, I was very engaged with the information about the Aging support courses and the Disability support courses from staff there. The staff are so helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. The teachers are practical and dedicated to teaching and training students. The office admins are so supportive and kindly. The materials are also very helpful. I has been equipped with qualified knowledge and skills during the course before taking placement and really happy to receive job at the same the aged care where I completed my placement. Thank you very much for Mr. Uddhab to get agreement with the aged care for my placement and much appreciated all teachers Prasanta and Inder Jit and staff Ashim and Sarita of the ETC college. I strongly recommend the ETC college for anyone who are looking for a very trusted and qualified training place to gain the Aging care support and the Disability support courses.
