I had a great learning experience at the College for Adult Learning, and I’m really thankful for all the support I received. The college made it easy for me to manage my studies alongside my personal life, and I felt supported the whole time.I would like to extend a special thank you to all the wonderful teachers: Meagan, Marissa, Kerri, Tom, Roma, and Saurabh. Each one of you brought something unique to the table, from engaging simulations to constructive feedback.A heartfelt thank you to Meagan, in particular. Your support and encouragement were a huge help. You always took the time to listen to my questions, give clear advice, and guide me when I needed it. I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor throughout this experience.

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.

It's incredible of supporting that I have from the coaches and the college administration team. I would recommend friends or anyone who is looking for learning courses, please up with Cal The college for Adult Learning, it's flexible learning. And it's leading me to farther research/study example: I don't know Brain Tracy before, now I know him and taking some of his short courses.

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.

The college for adult learning is a great learning experience. The process is simple and supported the whole way. So much help available to you if you need it and the support team is only an email away. Hayley is professional and very knowledgeable and always ready to answer any question no matter how simple or complex. The learning coaches are all amazing, in particular Tom. They really do go the extra mile It's simple to get one on one time whether you just need a 15 minute consult or a half hour zoom meeting. They make the time so that you can get the most out of your learning experience. It's daunting as an adult going back to study and re-skill, but the team at College for Adult Learning has you covered. I recommend the College for Adult Learning for anyone thinking about going back to study whether it's to upskill or go in a totally new direction. I have little to no experience with technology and less than 9 months in I've almost finished a double diploma. Something I never even dreamed of doing. But with the help available at the College for Adult Learning I've almost met my goal and I'm already looking for something else to study. If you're an adult looking to study for any reason, make the College for Adult Learning your go to for study.

I just complete my Diploma of Human Resource Management through CAL and could not recommend the external training provider highly enough. Marissa Litonjua was my main lecture for the two year period and she was absolutely fantastic. She was so helpful, considerate and so knowledgable. I would not of gone through my studies without her. CAL don't want to lose her trust me!!!!!I also had Kerri Waddell who at times was blunt with me and not helpful. She made me feel insecure and at times doubted why i was studying this profession. This something i think CAL needs to address as many other students i believe feel the same.Overall i have loved my studies and would recommend CAL again 🙂

Overall I enjoyed the study content, the assessments and the simulations with the coaches. It was getting in regular contact with the coaches that was a continuous struggle as they were very limited and it definitely slowed down my progress. Parveen was amazing and got me through the bulk of the auditing modules with being so flexible around my work hours. I found Marissa when my studies took a turn to subjects that I was not great at, business and finance, and she guided me through so well that I need not have bothered freaking out. Marissa is thorough in her teaching and patient and was able to effortlessly stop me from over thinking and help me to understand what my next move is when it seemed my brain may not cope 🙂 It is a bit sad to know I will not be in regular contact with her anymore.

I recently completed a Double Diploma of Project Management and Quality Auditing at The College for Adult Learning (CAL), and I could not be more pleased with my experience. The comprehensive curriculum and practical approach to learning were exactly what I needed to advance my knowledge and career.I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to my coaches Tom Skrzecz, Nasser Babaee, Parveen Dahiya and Kerri Waddell, and the student support team for their unwavering assistance and encouragement throughout my studies. Their dedication made a significant difference in my learning journey.A special mention goes to Rosie Burns, who supported me last year when I faced health challenges. Her empathy, understanding, and assistance were invaluable, and I am incredibly grateful for her help.Thank you, CAL, for providing such a supportive and enriching learning environment.

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. Can't wait to keep moving forward with the program.

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 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 !!

Diploma of Human Resources Management
“After starting my own recruitment company, even with nine years of experience in the field, I could see that there was a gap in my knowledge. I chose to study a Diploma of Human Resources Management with the College for Adult Learning. It was actually really enjoyable which I did not expect! The tutorials had a fantastic flow and I found video learning to be easy. Having quizzes at end of each unit was a good idea and reminded me to pay attention.
I was determined to get the course done quickly and wanted the time flexibility to complete it at nights and weekends. The course work was relevant and manageable, a natural extension of what I was doing in my work already. CAL was very supportive and helpful with email and phone response. I believe they do whatever they can to help people through the course.”
Diploma of Project Management
After seven years at my organisation I could see that opportunities existed for me to widen my professional knowledge. As a high-level management position, my job is very demanding. The Diploma of Project Management has given me the tools I needed to meet both the day to day challenges and long term results required from my work.
The College for Adult Learning exceeded my expectations. I have a Diploma of Engineering and I have studied online with another provider before, which was unfortunately an unpleasant experience. CAL’s course was nicely structured and gave me exactly the knowledge I needed. The Learning Coaches were readily available for help and I was pleased with the self-organising environment. Doing the course at night around my fulltime job allowed me the flexibility I wanted and I finished it in a timeframe I was very happy about.”
Diploma of Building and Construction (Management)
“I studied the Diploma of Building and Construction (Management), doing approximately 6 hours of study per week. All the learning materials were engaging and the learning coaches offered their full support when you needed it.
Not only did this experience teach me the proper techniques and knowledge as promised, but it also taught me how to learn independently, how to stick with a problem and find ways of solving it, and perhaps most significantly, the experience taught me the skills that will enable me to continue to develop my Management skills beyond the electronic classroom.”
Diploma of Leadership and Management
“Back in 2015 I was searching for a course to broaden my qualification base. I completed a Diploma of Leadership & Management.
Vikki was the most supporting Learning Coach I could have asked for, she provided excellent feedback (both positive and constructive). The team in the College for Adult Learning Administration Office were efficient, prompt in responding to emails, friendly, supportive and encouraging!
I am grateful that I chose CAL to complete this course with. They pulled together my life experience as real world examples and helped me prove to myself I am still not too old to fulfil my potential in life!”
