Office 365 web apps

Online study flexibility
Online study is a great option for anyone, but it’s the best option for those who want to fit study around a busy lifestyle. If you’re looking to study but are currently working, have a busy family life or are unable to get to campus for scheduled classes, online study may just be the right choice for you.
Is online study right for me?Delay your start
You can start studying at any time within the first three months after your registration has been processed. Your payment plan will start right away, but your course duration will start when you do. If the best thing for you is to lock in your enrolment now but starting in the next three months, apply to enrol and have a conversation with your Learning Consultant about your circumstances so they can help with delaying your study.
Questions? We have the answers.
You might have 101 questions you want answered before you take the next step and apply to enrol. Our Learning Consultants are always happy to answer your questions, but here are a few things that might help if you’re not yet ready to talk to someone in our team.

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.
Financial support
Our payment plans
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.
View our flexible payment optionsExternal funding
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.
The registration submission process
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.
What happens next
Provided everything checks out, you’ll get an email confirming your acceptance and welcoming you to CAL. Once you receive your login details for Spark, our online learning platform, it’s time to log in, have a look around, and take the next steps in your study journey.
I was very nervous about returning back to study after several years of being a stay at home mum, however I found the guidance and support I received throughout my studies really helped me feel comfortable and assisted in my growth and understanding of Human Resources. The course was flexible to my lifestyle and needs and I’ve felt my confidence develop since starting. I can’t wait to see what the future holds now.
Thank you to all the incredible staff at CAL, especially to my coach who was so encouraging and supportive and really took the time to understand me and help me understand the content.

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.

How are the courses and assessments delivered?
Our courses are assessed in a number of different ways – a mix of activities, quizzes, written assessments, and even some multiple choice questions. Assessments are based around workplace competencies and readiness, designed to get you in a position to apply for jobs with confidence. This way, the qualification you receive will be a form of evidence, and it’s why employers value diplomas. It’s a workplace-based qualification which allows you to demonstrate or simulate practical skills, based on your experience.

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.

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.

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 🙂

06:27 04 Aug 24
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.

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.

In the current climate, we are all facing I have found that my coach and also the student support and administration has been VERY helpful, reassuring and timely in their communication and help. I enjoy the course and my experience from the start has been great. The effort is on me to contact and reach out and once I did this the team was on my questions immediately.

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 !!
