Hear from our Students

The College provides the best training for skin cancer doctors in Australia. The reason I have decided to pursue the SCCA Education Pathway is because the assessment standards are the highest.

Dr Jonathan Gordon, NSW

This course was perfect for the current stage of my career and I can’t wait to use my dermatoscope more. I really appreciated the support received from the College team throughout my learning.

Course Attendee

I was very nervous about any skin lesions prior to the course. I not only feel much safer as a clinician but also more confident. I would highly recommend SCCA training to others.

Course Attendee

This course was a great experience, very comprehensive, with extremely knowledgeable presenters. I learnt a great deal and I am looking forward to doing more courses.
