  I don't recommend this school and advise people to choose somewhere else or don't sign up at all. I regret ever having signed up with this school.
  The enrollment/interview/sign up process was ridiculous and unorganized, And I was sure things would get better from there. Things only got worse.
  
  Teachers were very rude and spoke down to students, they didn't seem to want to help and when a student asked a question they would belittle them. I also had an awful interview experience and was made to feel like I wasn't worth their time and was spoken to like trash.
  
  Everything in class felt rushed and slightly unorganized, right from day 1. Should have been a big red flag.
  Their are just too many bad things to say about this school and I hoped for better.
  Please save yourself time, money, and heartache and don't choose this school.

  Did the Diploma of Theatre Arts course there in 2015. Great work going on at the Prahran campus. Though there is one teacher I had who was completely unfair to her students, was ALWAYS disorganized, bullied her students about their apperance (i.e. -- fat shaming them, mocking their disabilities, etc), always played favouritism with her students, was always overthinking the most irrelevant of details, and she spent more time gloating about how she is such a "well experienced" performer (which she's not) than actually teaching us how to perform. Spent more time forcing her methods down everyones throats rather than letting her students discover their abilities for themselves. She carries such a huge ego on her shoulders.
  
  The teacher's name is Karen Berger and she is by far the worst teacher I have ever seen. No one thinks highly of her, and it's appalling that she's still kept on as a lecturer, especially how she belittles her students. She should have been sacked a long time ago.

  I spent a good 3 hours going through their enrolment process for the Advanced Diploma of Conveyancing only to be told today that the course has been cancelled for the month of February 2018.
  To add salt to the wound, they then tell me that it has been postponed to April 2018 but couldn't commit that the course would in fact commence then as it would be dependent on the number of applicants.
  I paid for this course in full so now I have to wait for a refund until I can apply at a different college.
  I should add that part and parcel of the enrolment process included a competency test and mundane induction by the lecturers.
  What I don't understand is why they put applicants through these processes, expect them to commit to the course when they will not in return commit to running the course in the first place.
  Poor administration and really poor form to expect applicants to wait indefinitely for when they decide to run a course.
  I will be bringing this up with Consumer Affairs as they should be stricken off the record as recognized course providers for being so unreliable.
  Fortunately, they are not the only providers for the course that I have applied for and after this experience, I have most certainly lost faith in their abilities to provide adequate learning in a professional field when they run their course so unprofessionally.
  Melbourne Polytechnic - Your Learning and Career Partner?
  I don't think so!
  
  Update : 21st March 2018.
  I rang the number as suggested by the poster below and nobody knew what I was talking about so I got hand balled from one department to the next until I decided that I had had enough and hung up.
  The inefficient bureaucracy never ceases to amaze me.
  If you want to speak to me, then I suggest you call me because quite frankly, my time is valuable and I don't enjoy wasting it speaking to people who have no idea with what's going on.

  Great place, nice facility and very supportive and carrying teachers, close to public transport too. The only negative is the food is terribly plain and the lunch time isn't long enough to go to Preston restaurants. Also watch out for the outside pesky Darebin council parking signs, most of them are purposely out of sight so they can rip you off.
