Our Culture and Identity

Sydney Institute has a long standing reputation for excellence in vocational education and training.  Since our beginning in 1891 we have responded to the changing needs of our customers and our environment, moving from a Technical College to a highly successful registered training organisation operating in a competitive environment.  In 2012 SI graduated six students from its first Interior Design Degree Course.

Our Mission

By 2012 Sydney Institute will be recognised as Australia's most progressive and influential provider of education and training services.

Our Values

We aspire to be a progressive organisation and to be passionate, influential, professional and capable in the way we do business.
