Testimonials
I have recently completed my Cert 3 in Individual Support with Mihaven Training. It was a great place to study. From the day of enrolment, everybody was very supportive of all the students and we had an amazing trainer in Chanakan. I have enjoyed studying this course and it's helped me to improve my work in the disability sector.

I have had the privilege of being a student of Shahe while pursuing my Certificate III in Childhood Education and Care. Shahe is an exceptional teacher who stands out for her kindness and dedication to her students. Her teaching style is both nurturing and informative, creating a welcoming and supportive learning environment. She has a remarkable ability to explain complex concepts in a simple and approachable manner. I have gained a deep understanding of childhood education and care under her guidance, and I am truly grateful for her mentorship.
