Exciting News

HITsa are the NEW RTO in the Limestone Coast!

We are thrilled to announce that in early 2025 we will be opening our newest HITsa location in the beautiful Limestone Coast region.

This marks a major milestone in our commitment to bring high-quality training and education to communities outside of metropolitan Adelaide. This training site has been designed to provide locals with greater access to vocational education and training (VET) courses that empower individuals to take the next step in their careers.

Our vision

HITsa is a leading Registered Training Organisation spanning 20 years with a reputation for delivering top-tier vocational education and training programs across Adelaide. Our mission is to provide students with the skills, knowledge, and support they need to succeed in their careers. With a focus on practical, hands-on learning, we ensure that our graduates are fully prepared for the workforce.

At HITsa, we believe that education should be accessible to everyone, no matter where you live. For many people in regional areas the cost and time commitment of traveling long distances to access quality training can be a barrier. HITsa will make it easier for individuals in the Limestone Coast region to gain the skills they need to succeed in the workforce without leaving their community.

We will offer a range of nationally accredited courses in industries such as Early Childhood Education and Care, Individual Support and Community Services, all delivered by experienced trainers who are passionate about helping students to achieve their career goals. Whether you are just starting out or looking to upskill, we have programs that will suit your needs.

Local Training rooms in the Mount Gambier Town Centre

The new location has been carefully chosen to provide the best learning environment possible. This location has industry-standard resources, students will have access to the tools and equipment they need to thrive. In addition, our location is easily accessible, with ample parking and training schedules to suit the needs of both full-time and part-time learners.

Local Partnerships for Greater Impact

As part of our expansion, we’re also working closely with local businesses and community organisations to ensure that our programs are aligned with the region’s specific workforce needs. By partnering with key local employers, we’re able to provide students with opportunities to gain the skills required to lead them into potential employment, giving them the hands-on experience they need to succeed in their chosen fields.

Enrolments opening soon

Our doors are opening soon, and we’re getting ready to welcome new students. If you are ready to take the next step in your career, we encourage you to explore our available courses to find the one that’s right for you.

A year of Success for HITsa's Students in Work Placement

This year has been a remarkable one for students participating in work placement associated with their qualifications. Across a variety of industries, students have embraced the opportunity to:  gain hands-on experience, develop and nurture relationships, make meaningful connections, build confidence and develop effective communication skills.

HITsa students communicated that their placement significantly enhanced their understanding of their chosen field, while our work placement partners praised the enthusiasm, adaptability and professionalism of HITsa’ s students. Key highlights include students receiving job offers post-placement and building lasting professional networks within their new chosen industry.

HITsa has many standout stories from students gaining part-time employment whilst studying Early Childhood Education and Care, to students who secured full-time positions as Support Workers in Disability and Aged Care.  

These success stories highlight the value of work placements in bridging the gap between classroom learning and career readiness. As the year closes, we look forward to building on this momentum, expanding placement opportunities, and celebrating even more student achievements in 2025.

HITsa would like to extend our gratitude to our partnered host organisations for their invaluable support. Together, we are empowering our students to thrive, and we deeply appreciate your dedication and partnership.

Congratulations to all students for an outstanding year!

Certificate III in Individual Support

Recent graduates from HITsa Salisbury, Katie and Rosey, have shared their experience on their last day of training in the above qualification.

"I have just completed this qualification, specialising in disability. My time studying for this course was an incredibly pleasurable experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the adult learning process and meeting wonderful new people who I can now call friends. The learning was engaging and easy to understand and the support from the lecturers was outstanding. I would like to make a special mention of a few people. Starting with reception, Amanda was always polite, helpful and a joy to talk to - a great friendly face to greet us weekly. Lundi was always there, willing to listen and assist, especially with my ADHD struggles, and I greatly appreciate the help she gave me.

Our lecturers Raj, Monika, Puneet, Manmeet and Lizzy were all incredible. Not only were they extremely helpful and understanding, they provided us with knowledge we now use in our daily lives. We think of Lizzy every time we remember to put the toilet lid down Lol. We will miss seeing all of your faces each week and they joy of learning from you whilst building friendships.

Finally, I want to thank HITsa for the ongoing support and for giving us the chance to grow, make a career and see our dreams come true". Rosey S.

"My experience at HITsa was absolutely incredible. School was always a challenge for me, expecially with my dyslexia, but at HITsa, that was never an issue. The teachers were beyond amazing - Raj, Lizzy, Puneet, Manmeet and Monika really knew how to make learning feel effortless. And the office staff... they went above and beyond, always ready to help with anything. I honestly can't say enough good things about HITsa. If you're thinking about studying but feeling unsure, trust me - you won't regret choosing HITsa. It's an experience that'll change everything for you in the best way". Katie R.

Certificate III in Retail

Ellie completed this qualification in November, pictured here with Jo receiving her certificate. Thank you Ellie for sharing your experience - we wish you every success in your search for a career in retail.

"My name is Ellie and I completed a Certificate III in Retail qualification with HITsa. As someone who is anxious about starting new things and education in general, my experience with HITsa was very positive and something I will never forget. All the staff I communicated with were all very helpful when I needed help with something and were very accepting with any adjustments I needed to make my qualification easier to get through. If I hadn't completed something or got an answer wrong on my assessment, the trainer helped me to understand where I went wrong and I would have another chance to get it correct next time.

I plan on using my certificate to get a job in retail, or as a barista or hotel staff member. The skills I learnt are very helpful in all areas of work that I am trying to apply for, as well as newer areas I haven't had the opportunity to apply for until now. I have no doubt that the new skills I have will get me a job in an area I am interested in and I am very thankful that I was able to study with HITsa so that I could master these skills".
