        Amazing training, great support, flexible learning without restrictions or deadlines. I was able to base my studies around work and life without issues. Even when I needed an extension the college was accommodating and gave me 6 months for free to finish my studies. Thank you!

        Terrible service and response to money related issues. I opted to pull out of this course 1 week after their grace period as I had to care for a family member indefinitely. But instead of showing compassion they have taken 18 payments of $205 since then. Pretty hard to pay since I haven't worked since then.

        My husband signed up for some [email protected]$h!t course with this company and they lied to him before his admission. He specifically said before admission that he would only enrol if no online or video exams were required in the courses, because of work commitments he wouldn’t be able to do video or online courses during the day. The representative with this company was only interested in signing him up to an unfair contract and lied and said that there was no video or online exams. The very first course had video exams. Further, they never made any attempt to make sure the course was relevant to him and that he was assessed as actually being able to complete the course, as required by the standards for any registered training organisation. This type of practice is unethical and unprofessional, which is key to the standards that are legally obliged to follow. Further, any training organisation that is not eligible for HECS or other govt support AVOID AT ALL COSTS, they are just scam artists in plain sight.

        DO NOT SIGN UP TO THIS COMPANY. YOU CANNOT WITHDRAW FROM THE COURSE, AND THEY MAKE YOU PAY THE WHOLE AMOUNT WHETHER YOU CONTINUE OR NOT. THE COURSE CONTENT IS IRRELEVANT AND THEY JUST USE OLD YOUTUBE VIDEOS. THE COURSE/ASSIGNMENT STRUCTUREIS ALSO TERRIBLE. YOU WAIT WEEKS FOR COMMUNICATION AND STUDENT SUPPORT. Zero would be generous.

        This rating is purely based on my experience with Marissa L. I have had difficulties with other coach but then I found Marissa. I'll try to keep it short, however Marissa L is the best learning coach that I've encountered whilst my study with CAL.I am so grateful for all the support, encouragement and help I received from her throughout. She is a very kind and considerate towards the time and efforts students put in.She is extremely organised and very responsive. She offers many additional advices/tool to help with the process and she definitely goes out of her way to ensure students are getting what they need.I would highly recommend Marissa L to everyone who are struggling in their course at the moment or taking course with CAL. I would have given 1000 stars if possible for Marissa L!

        Don't sign up to this course if you are expecting a teacher to be available during the day you'd like.To schedule a call with a teacher, you have to wait 5 days to be talk to anyone.Emails go unanswered for days and then when they finally get answered, the response does not answer your question.Chat function is useless as they just tell you to schedule a call.During the course, you do little 'asignments' but there are zero examples to help you along with this.Videos are not done locally and just 'found' you YouTube.All the above is delaying my studying. I work full-time and now have to work around a teachers schedule instead of working off my schedule. I've asked to pull out and be refunded but you're unable to be refunded. I'm really unhappy with this course.

        I have recently completed my Diploma with CAL. Originally I was intending to do a Double Diploma however I found the Project Management content was very outdated, however, with the new refresh of content in the last 12 months I have found CAL certainly picked up it's game. I had some great coaches - Kerri and Marissa - who really helped me. Loved the flexibility of self paced study.

There are no other RTO's where you can do this and undertake work at your own pace in your own time. I have seen the online platform and case studies improve greatly over this time and highly recommend anyone who wants to study to consider CAL. Massive thanks to Nasser, Marissa and Wendy who were my coaches over this time.

The learning coaches were also extremely helpful and always available to assist. A big thank you to my main learning coach Marissa and also to Robyn for going above and beyond to support me. Very much appreciated.

        Easy to navigate platform with constant updates to provide the students the most up to date and easy to use curriculum. The assessors I dealt with were knowledgeable, helpful, patient and without them, I wouldn't have gotten the pleasant experience or results I did. Special shout-out to coaching staff - Nasser and Marissa, who I leaned on quite a lot for assistance.

        I recently completed a double diploma in project management + construction management. The online platform was very user friendly and I was able to understand the follow the content pretty well. If I required assistance there was always motivated staff ready to assist and resolve any issues in a timely manner.Special thanks to Marrisa Litonjua and Wendy Close who assisted me greatly in further understanding the subjects and course content.CAL also offer recognition of prior learning which assisted me as I have been in the industry for 16 years and was able to gain recognition of a large amount of the course content.I would definitely train and study with CAL again in any future opportunities.

        I found studying through CAL practical as there were no deadlines to meet, the work was all actually what self-paced is all about. All the assessors I have completed by studies with were excellent, friendly and happy to be flexible where needed. If you are contemplating study, with the addition of work and children, CAL is your calling! Diploma now completed and I could not be happier!

        Poor quality, inconsistent training provider.Half way through my Logistics Diploma my coach/teacher was changed without warning. The new teacher has not been trained properly and is not able to coach me effectively and or conduct simulations as they should be as he has no idea how to navigate the students submissions etc.This is not the first time I have encountered this training providers incompetence.Badly run college, if you want professional tuition I recommend you go elsewhere!

        I just completed a Diploma of Human Resources Management (plus the Cert IV pathway package). It was a seamless process and the staff were always providing excellent support. While I had a variety of learning coaches, most of the guidance were given by Marissa L and Kerri W. They are highly experienced and provided an advanced level of coaching. Would thoroughly recommend this option.

        SAVE YOUR MONEYAbsolutely pathetic, unhelpful, money hungry place.Long story short,I Firstly enrolled in a double diploma of logistics and leadership management. The course was poorly constructed and didn’t receive any support or mentoring calls they promised for the entire time I was enrolled. Eventually transferred the course to a cert IV in leadership management but still the same. Due to my family and other personal circumstances I requested to withdraw from the enrolment with a refund but very unhelpful and unprofessional, student finance manager David Whitty insisted that I should continue to pay for the course and rejected my request.Took me a few emails to explain it to him without any success.Now I’m out 3K of pocket and without a qualification either.Do your research and spend your money elsewhere.You can’t expect a quality service from these people. Speaking from my experience.Other reviews are good examples too for you to steer clear from this place.Once they get your money, you don’t exist to them.PS: To The team at CAL, I don’t expect a response to this from you.

        I have just completed my Double Diploma in Quality Auditing and Business (Compliance) with CAL. The experience has been a positive one, the two main coaches/assessors that have supported me through are Marissa and Robyn - they are amazingly patient and helped me through the assessment workbooks. Thank you both very much! I would recommend studying with CAL as the student portal is easy to navigate and there is flexibility with choosing simulation assessment times. After a short break I will be studying with CAL again.

        I have been doing a double diploma for a few months now, and have found the staff to be very helpful, in both completing the assigned tasks and conducting the roleplays. The staff have great customer focus, and make you really feel good about yourself and the quality of the work you produce. Feedback is always very helpful and focused. I recently asked for guidance in attaining a plan to reach my desired job role. The information provided was extremely helpful. I now feel confident in what I need to do to get the role I desire. I was provided with a well thought out plan and provided with actions I can take that will help me not only attain my desired role, but a plan I can utilise for any work-related career in the future. I got a lot more than I expected. The 30 min career guidance session provided me confidence and a well thought out plan. Anyone looking to better their career, goals, and ambitions, I highly recommend “College for Adult Learning” 5 Stars!

        A very detailed and systematically designed course with excellent; helpful and friendly staff members. The mentors were very helpful and they guided me thoroughly.It was quite a challenge to get Diploma in Project Management (BSB 50280) and Diploma in Construction Management (CPC 50308) while working but when you consistently work towards your goal, success is just next step away.I would definitely recommend Nasser Babaee- a good mentor and a guide; Kerry Waddell; Marissa Litonjua and Mehran Babaee- very supportive and a good guide. Without them the journey would have been very difficult.Thank you.

        I am very pleased I made the decision to undertake online study with CAL. The flexibility of working at my own pace, and the ease of communicating with the administration team, coaches, and assessors, have contributed to achieving my goal of completing a Diploma of Quality Auditing. Assessment roleplays were difficult to organise during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, where I needed to seek friends or colleagues willing to act as participants for a zoom meeting, write the scripts for everyone to meet the required criteria, record the session, and submit it for assessment. While this was enjoyable, it was time consuming. Assessor, Robyn Smith, implemented an excellent method of assuming the role as auditee / audit team, conducting a role-play simulation via zoom, where I was assessed immediately on my performance and received constructive feedback. I was able to make bookings for upcoming role-plays, which kept me to task in maintaining a steady flow of working at my assessments. I appreciate the guidance, skills and knowledge I have gained, and thank CAL for their part in my professional journey.

        I started a douple diploma of Business Administration & Practice Management in October 2020. I originally gave myself the full two years to complete the diplomas and have finished ahead of schedule after 20 months. I'll be honest and say it was really hard work at times as I also work full time and am juggling three children but I did it and couldn't be happier.The course content was good but I found listening to the tutorials hard work as the voices were really monotone. I ended up printing the script and reading it myself which helped.Pro's about the course:Good course contentWorked at my own paceCon's about the courses:Difficulty booked coaching sesions in a reasonable time particularly as I am in WAResponse to coach questions weas sometimes delayedThere were some typos in the script that were confusing at timesOn the whole, it has been a positive experience.Thanks CAL

        I recently completed a diploma in business and a diploma in management & leadership. I felt my assessor Marissa Litonjua was amazing and help me in every aspect throughout my journey. It was well structured and I was able to complete the course at a pace that worked well with my busy lifestyle.

        I haven’t been doing my course for long. It’s been challenging but I find it frustrating when getting a response. I don’t get a lot of time as I am working full time and I only get limited time to work on my assessments, so if I’m having issues I am waiting one to two days for a reply. I have had issues with getting answers to my questions a lot of the time I get the same question repeated to me with no answer to what I was actually asking. I can ask the same question in a different way in case it’s my wording but still getting the question repeated to me without an answer.

        The college for Adults Learning has really helped me with my full time schedule with work and being a new mum, I love the fact that it's self-dependent learning and is flexible. I would highly recommend it for those who want to challenge themself while juggling everyday work/life balance. It's great and the coach support are all so lovely too.

If your looking to complete a diploma which works around your own schedule/lifestyle, whilst still having first class support and coaching then College for Adult Learning is the perfect choice. Thank you again CAL.

        The learning management system spark is really good. Easy to navigate! One of the best I've used in my long academic career. Well done CAL!The coaches are all lovely.I did a double diploma in practice management and business administration with CAL. I thought the assessments were overloaded with so much stuff that I know the assessors didn't even get a chance to thoroughly read everything. I think CAL can assess the same content with briefer tasks.There are lots of irrelevant activities that I had to complete as part of the journal. I do not see the point of overloading students with a bunch of activities to 'bulk up' the course. It does not add value and it's so time consuming. Personally, I found it so demoralising to get 1 question off the 90% mark required to skip the journal and then have to submit a good 20-30 pages of random activities that no one reads.For example with the manage health billing unit, there is no single tutorial video recorded for the topic of managing health billing they just took tutorials from other units. ( I know because I did some of the tutorials in my other units). My problem is that there's a whole bunch of irrelevant tutorials that you have to go through only to discover that assessments only focus on one learning document within a single tutorial. So why waste our time on the other stuff? Make it relevant or cut it out.Marking criteria and strictness across coaches (asessers) is widely varied. Some coaches e.g Robyn and Marissa are really relaxed, they are willing to accept reasonable answers, others are very strict eg Meagan Rawlings is very stringent with her marking criteria.. ie you can write someting which is true but she won't accept it because it's not on her answer sheet.When the questions have been worded very vaguely and open ended, and also the unit tutorials are mostly irrelevant, it can be very frustrating to be told to resubmit assignments over and over again for tiny details that don't add much value to your overall understanding of the key concepts.Studying with CAL is a great way to test your patience and ability to sift through a whole lot of rubbish to find the good bits. It's not all bad...

        First the bad: I found the language used in the tasks/assessments to be a little vague and confusing. On talking with my coach, things were cleared up, but it's that initial confusion that was slightly disheartening.It was usually a 48hr wait to speak to a coach.Now the good: My coach Marissa was great at helping me work through the issues and keeping me motivated to get through the assessments, especially during the simulations. She gives clear and concise feedback.That you can do this in your own time, is really great and if you're running behind, as I did, they're open to a discussion on extensions or what can be done to help you get through the course.There is now a new format and it's much easier to use, clearer on segments and progress.Warning: the quiz's use a lockout software that are not always compatible with a work laptop (as I was using), so keep that in mind :)

        CAL has been a great institution to study with while working full-time as it is self-paced. The support from the coaches has been fantastic, and the ability to use real-work situations and RPL towards assessments cuts the workload down dramatically. The main downside to their programs is the overload of required work. Learning journals, quizzes and assessment tasks with 25+ pages of instructions are not uncommon. A special thanks to Marissa for being a wonderful coach who has kept me on track to the end! The rest of the admin staff have also been excellent - always following up issues and providing a great experience. Thanks CAL team!

        The worst decision I ever made.Paid to teach myself.Enjoyed the course when Mike was my supervisor as he always explained and contextualised things making the unit relatable.I have a new supervisor Darren and the course became a nightmare. No support but very high expectations and very quick to say not good enough without providing any support.

        SAVE YOUR MONEY Absolutely pathetic, unhelpful, money hungry place. I Firstly enrolled in a double diploma of logistics and leadership management. The course was poorly constructed and didn’t receive any support or mentoring calls they promised for the entire time I was enrolled. Eventually transferred the course to a cert IV in leadership management but still the same. Requested to withdraw from the enrolment with a refund but very unhelpful and unprofessional, student finance manager David Whitty insisted that I should continue to pay for the course and rejected my request. Took me a few emails to explain it to him without any success. Now I’m out of pocket and without a qualification either. Long story short, Do your research and spend your money elsewhere. You can’t expect a quality service from these people. Speaking from my experience. Other reviews are good examples too for you to steer clear from this place. Once they get your money, you don’t exist to them. PS: To The team at CAL, I don’t expect a response to this from you.

        The material is ridiculously complicated for what it is. The hours required to complete it are way beyond what was initially stated. Help isn’t available out of hours, advice given varies & contradicts depending which coach responds. The lectures are a mish mash of old notes & poorly updated information, terminology varies throughout & the assessments often don’t even line up with the unit. There’s no follow up. Do not use CAL.

        I have just completed my double diploma in HR Management and Business Admin. This has been one of the best online platforms that I have used for my learning experiences. The content Is excellent and very thorough, there are various methods you can use, depending on your learning style. There is a lot of work, but is totally rewarding as you work through it. My biggest take home is if you have any issues or get stuck is to always communicate with the lecturers or even the office staff, the whole team is super supportive. I struggled a couple of times with work time pressures where it got too much, the CAL team where very supportive and assisted me through it. Kerry and Marissa where both great facilitators when working though my major assignments, and thanks them both for making it an easy process. At the end of the day CAL want you to pass and will work with you through the process. Thanks to the CAL team!!! 😎😎

The price you pay in money and mentality was worth having these two diplomas now and I can’t thank CAL enough. I have always had good experiences with the coach’s, timing and content. I would recommend studying with CAL to anyone. Just chip away at it and keep motivated.

        I signed up with CAL to study the Double Diploma of Business Administration and HR. They advertised, “you will work directly with your own individual learning coach“ and receive “Expert and up-to-date content”. Unfortunately, I experienced multiple documents that were out-of-date including unit assessments. When I brought this to their attention, they were unapologetic regarding my time spent following this up, after I had already completing assignments to the best of my ability using content they provided. The student portal had a notice that updates were taking place, however it was not clear as to which documents were being updated. The coaches are friendly, however, I had three different coaches telling me three different requirements for a unit assessment. CAL did not facilitate an online learning environment that they advertised in this regard. I had all intentions on completing my study with CAL and had no issues with the workload itself. I do not recommend CAL and would suggest if you do sign up and have any regrets, to utilise the 30 day money back guarantee straight away. I have since withdrawn from the courses because of the ongoing issues with course content being out of date and an inconsistent coaching approach. After expressing my concerns to the institution and application to withdraw, it took several negotiations with senior management to reach an agreement of a partial refund. I will continue to actively pursue study with a more reputable institution.

        Terrible experience. Scam after 30 days you don’t get your money back. Site incredibly difficult to navigate. Case studies in other sections outside of assessments with no clear direction on how to find. Limited support. Coach calls back 1-2 days after booking. Do not waste your money and if you do you can’t say you were not warned. The idea seems good but their coaches aren’t in house so you can’t chat to them for a quick simple question to help progress.

        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 !!
