From Past Students

What Students Say About It

Units contained plenty of information of the subject matter and allowed me to learn in a way suitable to me. They allowed the perfect balance between theory and practice (learning and assessment). Quizzes suitably tested the level of knowledge gained, while assessment enabled a practical approach. Assessors were professional, knowledgeable and helpful and marked assessments in a timely manner.
Alicia De V. · Provider Website
Studying with CAL was a great experience. I did struggle with motivation and getting back into study but they (the coaches) were there all along. They have so many support options and are really flexible and want you to succeed. Some of the content links - in the learning modules I studied - reference reading material going back many years but still relevant and useful.
Natasha S. · Provider Website
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.
Petehr R. · Provider Website
Covered everything that has helped me with all the content, a lot 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 most impressed by the simulations as it gave me the opportunity to demonstrate my knowledge, and I became better with each simulation.
