Studying with AIRC is a perfect way for nurses to balance their study, their job and their life. AIRC are just a phone call away and invaluable with their assistance in every area of the practice from Management through to Veterinary Nursing Studies.

We love the training provided by AIRC & CCG. AIRC trained nurses are incredibly competent. The rigorous training program provides nurses with a high level of underpinning knowledge. This is backed up by workplace assessments to ensure that theory translates into practice. We could not be happier with our AIRC-trained nurses and choose AIRC for both Cert IV and Diplomas.

I have relied heavily on the quality study materials, as well as the user-friendly online service and student website. I continue to rely on the Study Guides as a ready handbook for technical information in several areas of nursing practice.
