About us
HeylnaQUEST College Pty Ltd. began operations in 1999. Since then we have grown from twelve students to fifty with between eight and ten part time trainers and four office staff. Today, we are in full operation from our modern office in Maroochydore, Sunshine Coast, where we offer courses in Welfare, Business and English.
More importantly we have, over the short time we have been in operation, seen our graduates obtain employment on the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane. These graduates are working in wide and varied occupations within the welfare and business sector. Several have gone on to further study at Universities and some others have set themselves up in private practices.
We are pleased to be contributing to society by offering quality training to individuals who in their turn are able to take their place in the workforce. Every day, directly or indirectly, QUEST College Pty Ltd. is inspiring and motivating people to reach their highest potential and become equipped with relevant skills for their career development.
We welcome new students of all ages, all walks of life and from all countries of the world to join us here at QUEST College Pty Ltd for a journey of self-discovery and achievement.

Testimonials & Photo Gallery

“ One of the greatest personal achievements in my life. Loved every experience.”
C.T.,  Kawana

“Learnt much during my time of study at QUEST which has enhanced my skills for my present job. In fact I was offered my present job as a result of doing my work placement for QUEST at this workplace.” F.H., Chatsworth

“ I really enjoyed my time at Quest. The non-competitive atmosphere was where I wanted to be. I met many wonderful people who were willing to learn and be challenged while on their own personal journeys. Quest was a very positive experience for me and gave me back some of the confidence I had lost. It also consolidated much of my previous learning. I also gained many new friendships.” S.C., Maroochydore

“The classroom environment provided a vast amount of interaction and exchange of ideas and differences thus expanding my learning and knowledge base. Experienced trainers – a great plus, real life experiences shared made it real and gave a clear outlook and understanding of the community sector.” B.W., Tewantin

“My experience at Quest College has been a fabulous journey.” K.M., Nambour

“I have enjoyed my time at Quest fully and I feel very well armed for University. The Diploma course is first rate and the Teacher’s are also of a very high standard.
I have mixed feelings about leaving Quest, on one hand I am celebrating my milestone and on the other I am sad to be going. You get close to everyone and it’s almost like leaving a big family unit. I hope this is not the end and only the beginning of ever richer friendships for the future.” G.B., Noosaville

“A fantastic course, it only now after attending uni for 6 months that I appreciate the high standard and relevance of the training I received at Quest, particularly the practical assessments and vocational placements. I am not currently working, but I did gain employment in the field due to my Certificate IV in Counselling, which has given me some fantastic opportunities. The course is invaluable to anyone considering Counselling as a career. I received excellent tuition and inspiration from the tutors.” T.I., Gympie

“The training I received at Quest was very relevant and hands on for Counselling. It was more relevant than the degree I am taking at the moment. The Certificate IV in Counselling helped me get a job and change career. I had outstanding trainers.” K.R., Cooroy
