How to enrol
Become a student in just 48 hours with these four easy steps
4 Easy Steps

ENQUIRE
To get started, make an enquiry. We will send you a course guide and connect you with your very own Learning Consultant. They will answer any questions you have and help you find the course that best suits you.
Unsure of the right course for you?
If you’re unsure whether the course is right for you, your Learning Consultant will help set you on the right path. Your Learning Consultant will consider the units included in the course, potential career paths and how online study will work with your lifestyle, so you can be confident the course is perfect for you.
Ready to go?
When you are happy that you’ve chosen the right course for your career goals, apply to enrol by notifying your Learning Consultant and be on your way to studying and achieving those goals.
What happens next
Your Learning Consultant will email you a link to our secure checkout so you can Register.

REGISTER
Secure checkout
Once you have found the right course to help you achieve your career goals, you can register for your course with your Learning Consultant. They will email you a link to our secure checkout using the Westpac payment gateway where you can choose your preferred payment option.
You can save up to 13.5% of your total fees by paying an upfront deposit on your course, or you can select the payment plan which will best suit you.
What's involved
When you get to the checkout, you’ll see there’s more to it than just payment. We gather a few essential bits of information, such as:
- Confirming you’re 18+ years of age,
- If English is your first language (if it’s not, we’ll need to check your literacy and numeracy skills before you start your studies to ensure you have a smooth learning journey),
- Which payment plan you’ve chosen (if you’re not paying the full course fee upfront),
- Confirming you agree to our terms and conditions and Privacy Policy,
- And of course, making that first payment to get your study journey started.
We recognise and understand that every student is different and no one payment option will suit everyone. That is why we offer flexible payment options to suit every budget. With no hidden fees, you can be sure we are here to support you through your learning journey.
Your payment plan will start once your enrolment is processed and you begin studying.
There are also other financial support options available, such as BUSY At Work or Verto’s “Skills Checkpoint” for Older Workers, which may apply to you.
What happens next
Once our enrolments team has processed your registration, they will email you your official CAL Enrolment Form.

ENROL
The final step is to complete your CAL Enrolment Form. This form goes through all the information we need to have you on board as a CAL student officially. Complete and return your enrolment form, and you’ll be ready to start your studies. Assuming there are no issues, your Enrolments Officer will process your enrolment within the next two business days.
Delaying your start
If you have chosen to delay your start, you’ll receive a confirmation of your expected start date and you’ll be prompted to go through the enrolment process when that date arrives. If you receive the enrolment form right after registration and you were planning to delay your study, it’s crucial that you communicate that with our team BEFORE you submit the enrolment form.
Completing your enrolment
- Your Unique Student Identifier (USI). This is your personal ID number for your lifetime of studies. It also creates an online record of your training attainments in Australia. You’ll need this set up before you enrol as providing your USI number is part of the enrolment application form. If you have studied a nationally accredited course in Australia since 2015, you will probably already have one. If you haven’t, you’ll need to set one up.
- Prior education levels
- Medical issues or disabilities
- Your motivation for study and what you want to achieve. This is important for our Real Outcomes Guarantee and identifying whether you’ve achieved your career goals as a result of studying with us.
Once you’ve submitted this form, you’ll get a confirmation email and a copy of your enrolment form for your records.
We take the time to meet and understand our students’ needs, so we’re confident when we create their learning path. But, if you find that the course is not right for you, you can take advantage of our 30 day risk-free guarantee. You can withdraw within the first 30 days of your enrolment for a full refund, less a small administration fee.
What happens next
Your Enrolments Officer will process your enrolment within the next two business days.
Once done, you will receive a welcome email with your details for accessing your course.

We're here to support you
When you study with CAL, you can be assured that we are committed to helping you achieve your career goals. Our purpose is to support you in the way that you need, throughout your entire learning journey and help you achieve your qualification.
Start Anytime Promise
We understand that you may be ready to start achieving your career goals but unable to begin studying immediately. That’s why we offer students the option to register for their course and to delay their start. You can lock in your course then start studying within the next three months.

No fees on transfers or deferrals
At CAL, we will work with you to find a pathway that’s best suited to your career goals. This is why we offer zero fees for course transfers for our students. To accommodate our students’ busy lives, we offer a free 90-day deferral, and we also offer one free 6-month extension.

30-Day Risk-Free Guarantee
We’re confident you will love your course. However, if you find that the course is just not right, you can withdraw within the first 30 days for a full refund of your course fees less a small administration fee of $250. Unlike other RTO’s who offer up to just 14-day refund periods, at CAL we offer 30 days to our students.

Re-enrolments and extensions
To help our students continue on their learning journey, we offer a free 6-month extension to ensure they’re in the best position to complete their course. We are also happy to offer re-enrolments. We won’t ever charge the full course fee for re-enrolments (some fees do apply).
