**About our organisation.**

At Open Colleges, we believe that Opportunity is Everywhere. We’re very proud to say that we were Australia’s first ever distance education provider. We make education accessible. Our flexible, online courses can be studied from anywhere on any device. We help our students gain the skills and accreditations they need to launch, change, or take the next steps in their careers.

What’s the OC difference? Sure, we offer affordable learning with flexible payment options, and we have constantly adapted and changed with the times to keep up with industry demands. But the key difference is this: we offer something that no other online provider has - 125 years of experience When students study with us, they can rest assured that they’re in expert hands. In the last decade we have helped over 450,000 students succeed.

**About the role.**
