6 reasons to choose Danford

While we help you gain your Certificate, Diploma, Advanced Diploma, or Post Graduate, a Danford College qualification is much more than that. We help you progress your career through excellence in education, and support you throughout your stay in Melbourne


We understand
We want you to get the best out of your chosen course and your time in Melbourne. Our trainers create an open and understanding environment for you to learn in the classroom. Our in-house counsellor is on hand when you need, and our lively student community keeps you connected with social activities and outings.

Smaller class size
While Danford’s course offerings are broad, each class has the capacity for only 26 students. This ensures the sort of one-to-one, tailored education you need to learn, thrive, and excel.
