Finding my place at Kangan Institute

 

After moving from school, I was recommended to join Kangan Institute for the VCE VM program—and it’s been the best decision I’ve made. From day one, the teachers and staff have been incredibly supportive, kind, and approachable. They explain everything clearly and make sure you feel comfortable asking questions. At Kangan, you’re treated like an adult, which creates a positive and respectful learning environment.

The biggest difference between school and TAFE is the flexibility and focus. At school, there are so many rules that it’s easy to feel distracted or worried about making mistakes. At Kangan, the emphasis is on learning and building your future. You’re encouraged to take responsibility, and that makes the experience empowering.

The VCE VM course is fun and practical, blending hands-on activities with theory. My VET option is Animal Studies, and working with real animals brings the lessons to life. It’s exciting to learn in such a practical way - it feels like every day is preparing me for the career I want.

“Kangan Institute has changed the way I see learning. The teachers are so supportive and really on your level. I feel understood and motivated every day. If you want a place where you can grow and feel confident, this is it.”

If you’re looking for a welcoming, flexible, and practical learning experience, I’d definitely recommend Kangan Institute. It’s a great place to learn, and it truly sets you up for success.
