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. I highly recommend CAL to anyone seeking quality education and outstanding support!

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’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 !!

You may be at risk of being passed over for career progression, salary increases or promotion opportunities because you do not have a recognised qualification in Human Resources.

In Human Resources, hiring decision makers consider the real quality of your qualifications.
Your qualification needs to stack up to the level of your experience as represented by your CV.

In this competitive market some may be tempted by a quick fix, tick the box HR course. Beware – these less reputable courses do not stand up under scrutiny. You need an assessment based quality accreditation that is clever enough to validate your experience using evidence from your workplace, while giving you the skills to secure the job and future income you deserve.

In-Demand Skills for a Human Resources Administrator

Essential skills for the modern HR professional

This course will challenge you, make you think and take you beyond the ‘old fashioned’ paradigm of HR as ‘personnel management’. You will enter into the new, exciting and stimulating world of the modern HR Professional.

Research conducted by Dave Ulrich (consistently named as the most influential person in HR in publications across the globe) and his colleagues tell us that HR should:

  • Turn outside business trends and stakeholder expectations into internal actions – Focus on both business results and human capital improvement
  • Target both individual ability and organisation capabilities
  • Understand that HR is not about an isolated activity (a training, communication, staffing or compensation program) but sustainable and integrated solutions
  • Respect heritage, while shaping a future
  • Attend to both day-to-day administrative processes and long-term strategic practices.

Research in Australia by the AHRI combined with Ulrich’s work determines that the 21st century HR Professional needs to learn to be:

  • Strategically focused and Business Driven with a sound understanding of the business, and the operational environment. Then develops an HR strategy that engages the workforce and meets both current and future needs.
  • A Stakeholder manager who understands and builds relationships and provides services and support in the ongoing management of human capital
  • Capability builders who work to develop the capacity and capability of others within the organisation
  • Expert and credible practitioners who use and apply their expertise to add value to the business; creatively developing and pushing boundaries to break new ground and advance new concepts within a strong ethical framework.
  • Change agents and managers of change who understand the processes associated with change and how to affect change with minimum angst
  • Technology advocates who can proactively use technology for strategic HRM

The entire BSB training package has undergone a review and overhaul from PWC and AISC, and a new course was announced in late October, 2020. While there will be changes to this course - including updated, different and additional units - they have a teach-out period and can still be delivered and completed in its current form until late April, 2022. While this may be enough time to complete your studies with the current version of the qualification, we've already started planning potential options and pathways to transition into the newer version once it’s available on our scope, and we will keep all of our students updated, supporting them through the entire process. We want to make sure that our students get the best possible outcomes from these updates, and we work hard to minimise any adverse effects if you want or need to transition to the new version of the qualification. You can find more information here: Training.gov and PWC.

Every RTO will need to address and action this same set of updates, but not all RTOs will be able to deliver transparent communications, robust processes or flexible options to their students. We would urge you to make decisions based on our current offering with the forward knowledge that they are subject to change, and ensure you're doing your due diligence when evaluating providers and how they will inform and support you through this process. Please contact your Learning Consultant to learn more and discover our unique approach to support.
