Informative, patient and bringing multiple perspectives so every learner can find their own way into the content — that's the mark of a truly exceptional trainer. When no learner gets left behind because the material is presented in a way that works for everyone, that's teaching at its finest. Thank you for sharing this and keep going — great things are ahead! 🙌

Ashley Saddoo was very helpful
Ashley Saddoo was very helpful, he guided me through the whole process of the course, payments etc. lovely & positive vibes! He didn’t pressure me into enrolling in the course unless he was absolutely 100% sure I was keen on it which was really good, highly recommend Ashley. His work ethic and kindness goes above and beyond, appreciate your work!
May God bless you always

I have been very anxious thinking about tackling my first roll play. My trainer Cayan went through a roll play in class tonight with us. It was awesome to see how it’s done and what the expectations are. I now actually can’t wait to get one done!

From dreading your first role play to genuinely not being able to wait to do one — that is the Cayan effect in action. Demystifying the process, showing exactly what's expected and turning anxiety into excitement is one of the most powerful things a trainer can do for a learner. You've got this — and when that first role play is done you're going to wonder what you were ever worried about! 🙌
Interesting and clear.

Supportive, knowledgeable, and inspiring
This teacher has made a huge difference in my learning. Their lessons are always well-organized and easy to follow, and they create a comfortable environment where I feel confident asking questions.

Thank you for sharing this and keep going — with that confidence behind you, the best is absolutely still ahead! 🙌

I want to thank all the team in helping me to study this course in community service and I want to express a particular thank to the trainer Cayan; who has followed and has impacted most of my growth and journey and he has been a important professional figure while showing an empathetic approce during the course of my studies here.

An important professional figure who followed your entire journey with empathy and genuine care — that's the highest compliment a learner can give a trainer and Cayan earns it with everything he brings to every single session. Thank you for recognising the whole team too — it takes everyone working together to create the kind of experience that changes a person's trajectory. You should be so proud of how far you've come. The community services sector is about to gain someone truly special! 🙌
Not great
I joined Hader as a student after reading great google reviews and initially things were good.
The staff who helped me with enrolment were lovely, however things started to fall apart immediately after I was enrolled.
Classes and recordings were somewhat interesting and delivered by lovely people but were plagued with technical issues. When it came to assessments, discord was relied upon entirely to form groups for the required roleplays. My experience with one of the higher-level members of the team based in Melbourne wasn't great and my experience with the philippinnes team was good, but heavily scripted.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend Hader, but maybe they will turn it around.

Thank you for taking the time to share this honestly — and we're genuinely sorry your experience didn't live up to the start you had with us. You raise specific concerns that we take seriously — technical issues in classes, the Discord group formation process for role plays, and the quality of some interactions with our team. These are things we're actively working to improve and your feedback helps us do that. We'd really welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly — please reach out to info@haderinstitute.edu.au and we will personally make sure your concerns are heard and addressed. You deserve better and we'd love the chance to make it right.
