South Metropolitan TAFE, Bentley Campus

So many thanks to all my teachers with their wonderful organised methods in teaching.
I greatly appreciate all your hard working, talented, being passionate and patient to teach us.

I had a great time during this semester.

Thank you: Helen McCallion, Dani Galus Emma Nofal, Wendy Gouws and all the teachers on BB.

Thank you for all the chef lecturers at Tafe Bentley. I studied there years ago. Im from Indonesia, i was an International student back then. Now, I own my bakery shop in Indonesia with 20 workers. Thank you for all chefs who taught me lots of things.

I studied for a year at Swan Tafe in 2005/2006 (elicos and Cambridge). I have excellent memories of it with great professionals (Neilane, Janet). I loved! THANKS

Completed a Cert IV in Accounting and bookkeeping this year and felt compelled to leave a review to highlight how positive the educational experience I had here was for me. Staff were great, student services helped arrange credit transfer with very little hassle, learning resources were excellent and well structured overall which made revision a much smoother practice.
The campus/facilities are well maintained and surprisingly pleasant to be amongst, although the canteen I found to be pretty lacklustre.

My lecturers, Gary and Levinia, were amazing and have added so much to my education with their knowledge and skill but more so their ability to build effective student-teacher learning relationships. I feel I have really solidified the building blocks of what it is to be a student here and am very glad I opted to study at South Metro TAFE

DO NOT STUDY HERE! Dishonest and untrustworthy. I studied the electrical contractors course here. The content was terrible and the tutor I had was even worse. I complained the course was lacking content but instead of accepting that, they lied and told me I had not downloaded the latest content. In the meantime they uploaded content to cover themselves. When I checked the content and the dates on them they were 5 days old, they denied this and lied even more to cover themselves. Do not waste your money here pay the extra few dollars and study electrical contracting at CET or CSTA.

Updating the review in Jun 2022.

I still love the teachers, they are great, and student advisor was very helpful, but not a library grumpy guy. Worst thing just happened. I dropped by Student Information Centre to seek some information for a course. 4-5 staff were sitting alone at their table. Unfortunately, I was only given a code of the course and asked to go online to get the details I wanted by sending an email. Our humans depend on dogital technology, but we are losing our interactive communication skills. Check the code! Would you want to go only for this?

Great environment & teachers, ample sitting facilities for students, bakery, and free car park.

Graduated Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing here. The lecturers are brilliant, easy-going and always try their hardest to help students out. Parking is plentiful and disability services (aka Rachel) was so helpful, thank you!

Incredibly beautiful campus. Heaps of native wildlife and gorgeous plants. Wonderful lecturers. Incredible student support system. A great place to develop and grow.

Absolutely enjoyed the experience at pines.
Great food and service and value for money. I'll be back

Great campus with fantastic lecturers. Does need an upgrade desperately though as it looks and feels dated

So far looks like a great place to study with there own cafe and restaurants for training
Good ratings so far
Need to know more about the tafe before I give more comments
It's safe as there is security gate house on entry and exit

The food & service in the Pine Training Restaurant at Bentley was excellent. I would recommend to family & friends to support these training students.
One recommendation for Management: I would recommend that the table service students would have more supervision to refine their fine dinning skills. Overall, the students are good & keen to learn but could do better.
I have enjoyed my lunch. I shall return for the summer menu. These are the food I had chicken salad, comfit duck & bake custard. Food was well presented & tasty.
Thank you to all the students serving & cooks & supervisors. You done an excellent job!

Nice $25 restaurant lunch for 3 courses. Must make a booking first. There is also a cafe next to it, serving lunch a la carte, which does not require prebooking.

Place lacks ambience and more access to windows to allow for natural light. Feels claustrophobic and very small on the inside. Very bland depressing walls and dark brick ceilings exposed not very pleasant especially in winter. Seems very institutionalised and like a maze on the inside. Majorly lacking harmonious atmosphere and colour. Some variety of paint, wall murals and better textured walls would of been suitable to create a more warm, happy and comfortable study environment.

Superb Quality Staff Members.
Who treated my Rescue Emotional Support Dog. With both patience and kindness. They didn't rush her She really enjoyed her visit Thank you so much for your professional approach to Penny it was much appreciated.
I can highrecommend a Visit

Great place to learn anything hospitality wise, the lecturers are amazing always there to support you, would definitely recommend anyone to study here

To internationals,
If you want to waste all your money and go to tafe 4 days a week then I recommend this place.
College is slightly cheaper and it's 2 days a week.

I just move from Tasmania. I contacted Tafe few times by email from hobart so I could move to Perth and start the certificate here. I arrived yesterday, I went today to tafe. Thep erson in charge wasn't there. So I was doing all the enrollment with other nice person and when i was going to pay, a lady called Naty, arrived to the office, really rude, she came from a meeting with her manager and she was a bit mad, angry etc (really bad customer service), and she said " I just came from a meeting and you can not enrol with us. Come back in 6 months. ". So I moved from Tasmania to study and she just say nah you can not study. You are not working right now.
I gave options, solutions to her. I explained that I just arrive but I can call few people and bring a letter from my new job even by tmw. But she was in mad and negative mood and just said no no no you can not.
How you can have people like her there. The worst experience my first day here. Instead find a solution, she just find wallls.
Life is about opportunities and find solutions in life but sometimes you have to meet people that r in a bad mood, don't want to listen and prefer to put walls to people that want to study. Mary, in enrolment area has a terrible customer service. Bad person and terrible experience.
I moved here to study and just before pay and angry lady stop my dreams. You should fix Ur problems with your manager. Worst experience.

Teachers are not good they do partiality with International stufents like as Robert taylor, cheryl taylor, peter dodd, john mahe dont try this instead this tafe try north metro or central tafe are better

A great Tafe with plenty of opportunity to learn. Place has a dull, cold feeling with all the exposed dark brickwork. A miserable, uncomfortable feeling through the winter season.
