Earlier this year we announced our acquisition of Victoria-based registered training organisation the Stirling Institute of Australia (SIA).

Bringing SIA into MAX builds on our existing training offerings in industries closely aligned to us, such as allied health, and will provide additional areas of study for students.

We asked SIA Managing Director David Youssf some questions to get to know SIA a little better.

 

What is SIA?

“Stirling Institute of Australia is a Registered Training Organisation (TOID 21132) that offers learning experiences in the form of short courses and qualifications to local and international students,” says Mr Youssf. 
“We believe the best way to learn is to experience. As a team we have always been passionate about supporting the needs of every individual that enquires about a course, qualification, or industry,” he shares. 

What training does SIA provide?

“SIA delivers training to a variety of cohorts across metro and regional Victoria - we deliver across 40 locations in Victoria,” says Mr Youssf.
