The overall experience at the college it’s has been great, great teachers and great way to you to learn , so yeah I’ve been enjoying too much and about Certificate IV what I like the most is very critical for you to learn how to run a business, how to deal with the staff, how to pick the staff that you need to fit in a restaurant and that is about it”
