An institute small enough that someone knows your name.
ACME Education teaches information technology, leadership and management, and English to about 1,400 students a year. Classes cap at 24. The person who teaches you marks your work. If you fall behind, we notice in the same week — not at the end of term.
Four programs, one pathway
Each one leads somewhere. English feeds the diploma, the diploma feeds the degree with a full year of credit, and the management qualification is built for people already running a team.
Diploma of Information Technology
Build the practical skills to work in IT support, networking or development — and a guaranteed pathway into the second year of our bachelor degree.
Course detailsAdvanced Diploma of Leadership and Management
For people already supervising a team who want the formal qualification to match — strategy, finance, risk and leading change.
Course detailsBachelor of Information Technology
A three-year accredited degree with a work placement in the final year, taught in classes small enough that your lecturer knows your name.
Course detailsGeneral English
Five levels from Elementary to Advanced, with a placement test on day one and a direct entry pathway into our diploma and degree programs.
Course detailsFive steps, and you always know which one you are on
-
Enquire
Tell us what you want to study. An admissions officer — not a call centre — replies within one business day.
-
Apply
Send us your qualifications, ID and English evidence. We tell you what is missing rather than leaving the application to lapse.
-
Get your offer
We assess against published entry requirements and put the reasoning in writing, including any conditions.
-
Accept and enrol
Accept the offer, pay the first instalment, and we confirm your place, timetable and orientation date.
-
Start and keep going
Orientation, then class. Attendance and progress are monitored weekly so support arrives early, not after you have failed.
Small on purpose
We are not trying to be a university. We are trying to be the place where a person who did not thrive in a lecture theatre finishes a qualification and gets a job.
- Classes cap at 24. Every class, every term. It is a scheduling constraint we hold to, not a marketing average.
- Your teacher marks your work. No tutors you meet once, no marking farmed out to people who never taught you.
- Practical assessment. Most units are assessed on tasks you actually perform, not written exams about performing them.
- Weekly progress monitoring. Attendance and results are reviewed every week, and someone contacts you the moment they slip.
- A real pathway. English to diploma to degree, with credit that is published up front rather than negotiated later.
Study here without sitting an IELTS test first
Our English program is an entry pathway, not a side business. Finish Upper Intermediate and you meet the English requirement for the diploma; finish Advanced and you meet it for the degree.
- Placement test on your first day, and re-testing every five weeks.
- Start dates most Mondays rather than twice a year.
- Airport pickup and first-week accommodation help arranged before you land.
- A dedicated international student adviser for visa, work-rights and welfare questions.
Support that starts before you need it
Every student has a named contact from day one. Nobody has to work out which office to call.
Learning support
Free academic skills sessions, one-to-one tutoring and assignment help. Booked online, usually within 48 hours.
Wellbeing and welfare
Confidential counselling, and practical help with housing, money and work rights. Referral to external services where we are not the right people.
Careers and placement
Resume and interview coaching, and the industry placement in the final year of the degree is arranged by us, not left to you.
Not sure which course fits?
Tell us what you want to do afterwards and we will tell you which program gets you there — including when the honest answer is that we are not the right provider.
