Transparency and honesty are crucial to building trust and is a standard that all universities and reputable colleges abide by. At Q Academy, we don’t shy away from publishing our course fees. If a training organisation does not publish their fees, then its definitely worth reconsidering if you should even contact them if they are not open, honest, and upfront.
Complete Transparency
Q Academy is recognised throughout the industry as the premiere training institution with practical courses that prepare students for life after study. As such, our graduates are in high demand throughout the region. Some employers even approach Q Academy directly to find new employees. To view current opportunities, visit our job board.
