Our Faculty
Our Faculty At Rhodes Career College we are proud of our instructors!
They are carefully chosen for their ability to work well with adult students. They are fully qualified to teach in their area of expertise, and know how to blend theory with practice.
Life skills theory holds that the client or student is the 'expert' on how to solve their own life problems. Our instructors respect each individual's learning style.
All training is conducted in an experiential learning environment, but will also include a variety of other instructional methods, such as lectures, reading and writing assignments, role plays, instructor demonstrations, and, in some instances, field trips.
Our professional instructors keep pace with adult learning principles and industry standards, and our employment counsellors will assist you to target your job search.
