Despite the fact that Stott’s College was founded in 1883 (before our famous Melbourne trams and before ‘The Big Australian’, BHP), it has stood the test of time and has evolved over the past 137 years as a quality private education provider, challenging itself to be relevant in meeting the ever-changing needs of industry and students.
Good quality educators are critical for academic success, and good teaching is so much about care and support. Our academic staff provide excellence in teaching, and we are serious about our student services and counselling, both academic and first language counselling.
Stott’s College meets stringent quality assurance standards in its administrative, delivery, staffing, facilities, marketing, and financial management. Stott’s College’s operations are regulated by the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency, the Australian Skills and Quality Agency, and the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority.
