I would avoid undertaking business Administration course BUS301 at the moment. While the online learning program is excellent, I have found the assessments very poorly written. The assessment criteria used to mark students asks for content not even in the exam! I have raised a complaint with the OP and NZQA. Just failed assignment 2 (twice) (and that’s after seeking clarification) and now they have suggested I enrol on the next course. My lecturer tells me the assignments are currently being ‘reviewed’. Total shambles and shameful way to treat students.

Agree with the other reviewer. Currently in the same exact position.Your asked ridiculous things that are not included on any of the assignments, very little Administration work at all. More so how to meet and greet people, in depth. Describe what you would do with someone that wants information and brochures for a hour. Ridiculous.

Business communication course.Never in a thousand years, I would have expected to be forced to do a business course inside a mental health subject.I accepted it because like everyone that signs up to distance learning, you feel you cant be too choosy. I did the first assignment with trying motivation. It's so painful to learn something you are not passionate about especially when you're an established adult and when you know this is not right!I gave up today because second assignment was becoming abusive. The second assignment involved group virtual meetings which I still would have accepted if it was more tailored to what I had signed up to! It had involved creating LinkedIn profiles and CVs and the instructions were exhausting. I dont want a LinkedIn profile for everyone to see. It's like saying you must have an Instagram account to pass this course! I deal and work on people every day but this requirement was becoming a joke.Funny thing is, I would have accepted doing this course if it were at least the 5th or 6th mandatory course not the first one! When you introduce a business communication course inside a beautiful discipline such as psychology, expect a lot of people to be put off!! What were they thinking?! Is this even a real institution!
