Our student testimony

HOSPITALITY

“My time at Crown allowed me to realize my passion for the hospitality industry. Crown placed me at the Northern Club for an internship, which resulted in a job offer as the manager was very impressed with my work. Crown tutors were incredibly supportive; they provided ample support and were with me until the last day of the course.”
Jesse Harfield
The Northern Club
“While studying at Crown, I was able to improve my presentation and writing skills. Crown's staff were very helpful, and the course layout and time allowed for assignments were excellent. Different teaching methods were used to help students with varying abilities to achieve to their best standards. The trips were a highlight for me during my studies; for example, the visit to the winery for a taste-tester was a memorable experience!”

BUSINESS

“I consider Crown very important to me for the experiences and people that I met during my studies. Teachers along with students are always welcoming, and open to conversation, sharing their knowledge and insight with each interaction. I made lifelong friends at Crown and know I am always welcome back. If I have anything that I might want to seek advice for, their doors are always open.”
Sione Mataele

“Special thank you to my tutor for the undying support, commitment and persistent motivation to teach business. Coming from a rough past life, I did not feel judged, but welcomed and supported. Crown helped me realise my potential, and through my studies I have refined my skills in the business industry. I now have a fulltime job in a management position for a family-owned business. I am grateful for the compassion and care that you put into every single one of us.”

“My experience as a student at Crown was fantastic. My studies are very well-supported by the staff and tutors at Crown. I was anxious before the start of the course because I had no prior training or experience in support work. However, as soon as I went to my first class, my tutor did a great job of teaching me.”
