I am currently in the early stages of completing my Double Diploma in Business Operations and Administration Management through the College for Adult Learning, and my experience so far has been extremely positive. The course material is well-structured, engaging, and highly relevant to the workplace.What has stood out most to me is the level of support available from the instructors and support staff. Living with Parkinson’s Disease presents its own daily challenges, and the team at CAL has been genuinely understanding, compassionate, and accommodating of my study needs and requirements. Their professionalism and willingness to assist have made a meaningful difference to my learning experience.I would highly recommend the College for Adult Learning to anyone looking to further their education in a supportive and flexible learning environment.

Covered everything that has helped me with all the content, alot of information to read and reference back to. Some modules I found easy based on my role and others I really had to put the extra effort into it, but the content covered that information, I was must impressed by the simulations as it gave me the opportunity to demonstrate my knowledge, and I became better with each simulation. Well planned out course would recommend to my fellow team members. I would like to personally thank Tom Skrzecz for his guidance in my simulation preparation and delivery very helpful and very knowledgeable.

the college of adult learning have been very supportive. I wasn't sure if I would be able to do this course, the course advisors guided me through step by step and help me pick the right course for me to study. I found it hard to get started as I am 48 yrs old and haven't studied for many years. the student advisors are quick to reply to my emails are very helpful at getting me on the right track. you can also schedule a call from student advisor for what time and day suits you. If you are not very good with computers, they will also help you with this. The student advisors send you weekly updates of how you are tracking, they also set you up with a study plan that will fit into your busy life and help you to complete the diploma in the required time frame. I work full time, 40 hrs weekly. I am studying a double diploma, and I have 3 children. The study plan they have created fits perfectly into my busy life. I recommend college of adult learning to anyone that wants to further their career or change their career path, like me.

When I first started my Cert. IV, I felt so overwhelmed with my first learning pack. By participating in initial zoom calls to support new students and reaching out and having scheduled calls from coaches to support me - I quickly found that I was not alone, not the only mature aged student that was terrified and that there was not judgement only support to help me succeed and that I had access to whatever support I needed, I just had to reach out. Building relationships with coaches and allowing them to help me has seen me successful in completing learning packs. I would recommend anyone study with CAL - Your limitations are only placed on yourself by you. The Centre for Adult Learning and the coaches all want to see you succeed. You too can be on that path.

I completed the Cert IV in WHS through CAL. I found the assessor’s and coaches to be extremely helpful in completing assessments, with the ability to book coaching calls on Zoom when help was required, including some weekend availability to fit study around my work schedule. I also enjoy the assessment call booking system that is used as it allowed me to book assessment simulation Zoom Calls ahead of time, creating a deadline for myself to complete assignments which helped me complete the certificate much quicker than expected. The assessor’s provide helpful feedback on assignments and are very transparent if something needs to be revised. The course has difficult aspects, however I believe it is possible for anyone to complete if they are determined, especially with the help of assessors. All the information needed to complete assignments is easily accessed through the modules, with a small portion of internet research needed to complete assignments. I absolutely recommend completing study through CAL, and I will be sure to go through CAL again should I choose to complete another certificate/diploma.

It really feels like you have a team behind you, even though the course is online.I also appreciate the variety in the learner assessments.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course and would happily recommend to anyone who is in a leadership role.

It covered all topics. Talent management, operations, leadership and metrics. Great overview issues in work place discussion. Great output.

It was really great to be able to complete my Diploma at my own pace and I received excellent support from my CAL coach.
