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.
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 reference reading material going back many years but still relevant and useful.
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. Well planned out course, would recommend to my fellow team members.
You get to study at your own pace & there's a lot of support.
I am pursuing double diploma program at CAL. Course Materials are awesome. Flexibility in study plan ensures my study-life balance. Teaching and admin staff are just a call away and are very supportive. The knowledge obtained from the industry-oriented materials equips me more confidence with extended skillset for my career goals. I highly recommend to study with CAL.
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 helped me pick the right course for me to study. I found it hard to get started as I am 48 years old and haven't studied for many years. The student advisors are quick to reply to my emails and very helpful at getting me on the right track.
