We are excited to share Australian Paramedical College (APC) has recently connected with Spencer Health, aiming to help support students with neurodiverse needs.
At APC we are passionate about delivering quality education to students of all backgrounds and abilities with a goal of making learning accessible for everyone. To help achieve this, APC places a strong emphasis on fostering a supportive environment which is facilitated by our dedicated Trainers & Assessors and Student Success Team whose genuine commitment to helping students throughout their entire study journey is of the highest priority.
