Since finding CAL to study my current course, I have had a smooth transition from finding out information about it to starting the course - the brochures are a very simple and easy to understand read on the CAL website. The follow up call you receive to chat about the specific course is also great, what I wanted was understood and the consultant advised the best course that was fit for me for the best value for money and also the best learning value also. Once started, the Spark hubstudents portal to access everything needed to complete the course is outlined clearly, structured well and easily accessible. So far so good and the support is very much there when needed. I look forward to continuing and completing my 2 year course with CAL!

A fantastic, supportive team of people who work with you to guide you through the course and are very prompt with responses to questions and queries. There are a few technical niggles, of course, as with any online system, but it is reassuring to see how well these issues are handled. I particularly want to give credit to Kerri Waddell who is enthusiastic and understanding of difficulties. I feel like I learned a huge amount during my course and am very glad to have completed it at last.

Very impressed with the level of support and the detail in my course for the College of Adult Learning. As an international student I initially thought the time zones would be an issue but the entire team (special mention to Tristan, Tracey and Tom) have been phenomenal and really accommodating. I haven’t completed my course yet so can only comment on my current experience, but so far CAL have been faultless. I’m so glad I chose them and enrolled, would strongly recommend anyone looking to obtain internationally recognised and accredited certifications to apply to CAL, I have enrolled on other courses in the past and can honestly say even their response times to my queries and to marking my work have been top notch.

I have enrolled myself for Cert IV in Building & Construction, where in I am very lucky to have experienced mentors like that of Mehran Babaee & Naseer Babaee. Unlike other courses where instructors don't take deep hearted interest in setting next generation on track; ,Mehran & Naseer are very friendly, approachable, knowledge-able, inspiring & motivating for their student to make them jump the fence with gravity & content.I am 100% sure if student are going to look back in their careers and the very first faces that they are going to see will be of Mehran & Naseer as satisfactorily waving & peacefully smiling for establishing yourself as successful builders.I may not run out of words praising these two gentleman and can't commend more to have them as your career coaches with CAL. or elsewhere.Regards,Pankaj Saini

I'm currently enrolled in the Dual Diploma of Leadership and Management, and I have to say the coaching calls—especially with Kerri—are fantastic. Sometimes you just need a bit of guidance to make sure you're on the right track with your assessments, and I always leave those sessions feeling confident in the direction I'm heading. Highly recommend this college!

I completed my Double Diploma (Operations & Leadership/Management) with CAL learning at the end of 2024. My success is in a large part due to the wonderful coaches and comprehensive curriculum. In particular I would like to praise, Roma, Tom, Robyn, Marissa and Kerrie who I had the most one on one contact with. Their knowledge and guidance over my 2 ½ year journey was invaluable and set me up for success which has contributed to my securing a great job in Education Administration. I found CAL to be accommodating and supportive when I needed time to extend my studies due to personal family reasons. I would highly recommend this educational institute, as it gave me confidence to continue my learning journey and as a mature age student, it proved to be extremely rewarding. I thank CAL and the quality of coaches that bring value to their students which ultimately brings value to their employees and beyond. A heartfelt thank you, Fil T.

I have been a registered student of CAL for the last 2 - 3 years. The amount of support they shown me through some unforeseen circumstances that I have had has caused me to stop 🛑 studying and focus on what was happening in my personal life.I’m starting to come through that and I can just see a light at the end of a tunnel. I thought that after having paid off my tuition that I would not be able to complete the course that I intended on doing. However today I was informed by a wonderful staff member of CAL that I would be able to do that with some assistance through the student Hub.If you are thinking 🤔 things are impossible to do, remember if you only reach out and ask for help in anyway they will help you through. I cannot thank you all enough for your support.With heartfelt gratitude 🙏Leigh

As someone that had not studied for over 20 years, the first feelings I had were very daunting. However, when I began my first unit and spoke to one of the coaches, saw the enormous amount of support behind me, this definitely eased my mine and enabled me to confidently progress my way through the units. Each and every coach was very supportive, the response time was wonderful and the the units easy to follow and work at my own pace (in between work and children).I would highly recommend CAL.

I’ve been doing a double diploma of Business at the College of Adult Learning (CAL), and I can’t say enough good things about my experience. Juggling my studies, work, and a new baby has been a challenge, but CAL has been super supportive every step of the way.They’ve allowed me to take deferrals and have given me special extensions when I’ve needed them. This flexibility has made it so much easier for me to focus on my family while still making progress in my studies.The coursework is practical and relevant, and I feel like I’m gaining skills I'll actually be able to use in my job. The instructors are friendly and approachable, which makes the learning experience even better. I’d definitely recommend CAL to anyone looking to further their education, especially if you’ve got a lot on your plate like I do.A special thank you to Tracey, you were so patient, understanding and helpful when I was speaking with you and seeking help. All my stress melted away - CAL give her a raise : )

My experience studying HR at the College of Adult Learning has been generally positive. The course offers practical and detailed content that covers a wide range of important HR topics, although some of them should be reviewed for errors. Despite this, the flexibility of the course allowed me to manage my studies around other commitments, which I really appreciated. Marrissa, my coach, has been a standout throughout the program. Her knowledge and support have been incredibly valuable, and she has a knack for helping me navigate through challenging areas. While there’s room for improvement in the overall delivery of some materials, the coaching and support from Marrissa and the flexibility of the course make it a good choice for those looking to further their HR education.

I was so nervous at completing study online for a new career direction. Fortunately, I found the best coach in the course for me (Kerri Waddell) after trying another coach who I found was most unhelpful in answering questions and supporting me. Kerri was so knowledgeable and worked with me to support me achieve my goals and progress through my course.The course content was very thorough, my only criticism of the course would be student learner packs with some errors and a lack of clear requirements at points, and some units had very stale discussion boards.Overall, I am happy with the course and support I received from CAL support team and Kerri my coach.

I found my whole experience with CAL to be a positive one. It's been many years since I have been in a "school" environment, so it took some discipline to get through this course. I set myself a 2 hour minimum study period each day which took a fair bit of effort and focus, as I work full-time plus have a family to look after. It was hard initially, but after a couple of weeks, I found my rhythm and it was smooth sailing after that. I also didn't put any pressure on myself-if I had a bad day at work-I didn't touch any study as I found no joy when I hit the books in that frame of mind, and that made it hard work. So, I found giving study a miss for one or two days actually beneficial, and when I did go back, I was more involved and interested in my course than before. I have nothing but praise for the support I received from the whole team at CAL - from the admin staff to the tutors. They responded quickly and the coaching calls helped me to get to the next questions/units quickly. A big thank you to each of you for the part you played in helping me achieve a long-held goal. I highly recommend CAL to anybody who is looking to take on some study. The content is laid out well and easily followed. The exercises for each topic and the assessments went a long way in ensuring that the information absorbed was drilled home.

CAL provided a great opportunity to learn at your own pace. I would highly recommend their Diploma of Project Management if you are new to the field and looking for an opportunity to learn as you do. The Diploma greatly supported the project I was working on at the time, running me through all the steps as I implemented them.

I have just completed a double diploma with CAL. I found all of the staff there very supportive indeed and did not experience any rudeness whatsoever. Unforeseen circumstances meant that i had to request an extension , CAL were very professional in their response and understanding. Studying online is not for everyone and can be difficult if you are returning back to study after a long period. However CAL are there to support you it just takes a little bit of time to get a response from your coach, but once you are speaking with them they clarify and help you with your course work. I would recommend sourcing a study group either students from CAL or somewhere else where you can bounce ideas off each other regarding the course. This will help you as you work through the self directed learning and complete your tasks and activities in the course.Thanks to all the team at CAL who helped me through my course and got me to the end.

I really enjoy my studies at the college of Adult Learning, ( I am studying the double Diploma in Human Resources and Leadership Management)the trainers are helpful and very easy to talk to. It’s taken me a bit longer to complete than expected but I can go at my own pace and I now book regular coaching calls to keep me active in my studies. Over all, I’m really happy I choose this course and this college.

I’m currently doing a double diploma of construction management and Project Management. All the coaches and staff at CAL have been very helpful and the studies have been great as they provide all the text books and study resources that I need to understand all processes and regulations involved in the field I am pursuing.

I recently completed the Double Diploma in Project Management | Leadership and Management. From my initial enquiry and dealings with Tristan who was super helpful, informative and supportive, through to starting the course with the help of Student engagement coach David who helped me every step of the way and checked in to see how I was getting on, The College for Adult Learning was a fantastic learning experience which exceeded my expectations. With each Unit completed the next would be unlocked straight away and marked within the times stated (generally in half the time). The feedback from the coaches was the best of all always super encouraging and supportive but also included much needed advice in areas that may require extra study or focus. Anything I was unsure of I simply booked a time that suited me for a coach to call me to discuss anything I was unsure about. I highly rate and recommend CAL and look forward to studying with them again in the near future! Thanks so much guys !!
