College Overview

Manchester College operates from a registered campus in Collingwood; conveniently located at Level 1 108 Johnston Street. As noted in the charter, the courses offered draw from current industry practice. Market research is undertaken locally and has identified a continuing demand for Australian qualifications delivered locally to overseas students to build vocational knowledge and skills that are also well recognised in their country of origin. 

The CEO/PEO, Mr. Nimish Lunagaria has significant, relevant and current industry experience in the ethical recruitment and servicing of overseas students for the vocational education sector in Australia.

Through initial market research Mr. Lunagaria identified a need for a specialised college that draws from industry experienced personnel to better service students and provides the support needed for those coming from overseas to make the transition to study and possibly live permanently in Australia.    

Delivery and Assessment strategies, along with Delivery and Assessment support material have been sourced from nationally endorsed Training Packages.

Training and assessment staff are recruited from industry to ensure that experienced and qualified staff members conduct programs.

Business Expansion

Manchester started as a one course college offering Diploma of Community Welfare Work (Course Code: CHC50702) and subsequently expanded its scope of courses to cover Diploma of Business (Course Code: BSB50207).

Manchester College second phase of development in 2009 involves the transition of all courses to CRICOS. Future business development will include articulation pathways and further scope development.
