  I completed the Advanced Diploma in mechanical engineering with Outsource Institute, all at distance and self paced. This was the only institute in QLD that had the full AD available online. I found the teachers to be very responsive and helpful which is critical when studying at distance. The resources and content were all well set out and have given me a good base of knowledge to build from while working in engineering.
Thank you Outsource Institute.
