Testimonials
“I studied Certificate IV in Finance and Mortgage Broking and also Diploma of Finance and Mortgage Broking Management at the ACOP. I was very impressed with the level of engagement and the quality of the course material. Our trained Graeme Porter was exceptional with his in-depth knowledge and years of experience. College Principal Rosy was so nice and patient and easy to talk to. She made sure we had a nice learning environment and provided us with endless lollies and awesome snacks. Other members of the College such as Chanelle and Michelle were very prompt and efficient with any enquiries I sent them. Another trainer Daryl was super responsive with my assessment questions. I am very proud graduate from the college and would have no hesitation recommending it to my friends, family and colleagues”
