Would not recommend – Enrolled during may and thought I had 12 months to finish my course, all of a sudden 1 week ago I only had 17 days to finish my course when I wasn’t even 1/3rd through my course. Got told it was because every 10 years they change the course?! Why would they let someone enroll half way through the year if they know that every 10 years it changes??… Read more

I was really looking forward to getting my certificate but only got 1/3rd of my money back. So upset and what a waste of my time.

no help been 2 months the assessor hasn't gotten back to me feels like a scam – I have contacted the assessor [name removed] 4 times over the past 2 months.

Such a bad learning experience! – I bought one course voucher of this institute on Groupon but could not redeem that on their website. After communicating with the company, they got my voucher and redeemed it, so it was hard to refund that even when I realized there might be many troubles in the future. See, they uploaded the WRONG course for me at first, after my complaint, they… Read more

reloaded the right one, but among that, one of the assessments was technically missing. And every time something went wrong, I had to call them beforehand, or they would not reply my email at all. Therefore, it took me quite a long time (more than 2 months) to finish all the assessments. Worse still, 2 weeks passed, I still do not receive the assessments result. Such a bad learning experience!

I've joined the CPP41419 course and I'm really getting to get more knowledge with the midday Thursday zoom meetings with Rod and you can ask about your units or have any questions of where you are up to for that extra bit of guidance with any unit… Read more

Since first contacting Rod and the team nearly two years ago regarding Cert IV and Diploma Level Qualifications I had many dealings with them. I experienced the best teaching resources in the exceptional Student Portal, timely marking, insightful advice and personal attention at their Docklands campus. Thank you for showing all the qualities of a first rate RTO.

The Manual Handling course was very helpful in teaching me the correct techniques to safely move and support clients. I learned important principles like planning the task, using good posture, and when to use equipment like hoists or slide sheets. The practical tips have increased my confidence and awareness to prevent injuries. I would appreciate… Read more

more hands-on practice and examples specific to disability support work to enhance learning further. Overall, it was a valuable and well-structured course.

All require information provided, easy explained . Course was easy to access.

Rod Callaghan is an absolute gem and truly rare to find as a trainer in this space. I cannot express enough appreciation for his efforts and support in guiding me through obtaining my real estate licence. He is incredibly supportive and thorough, especially with the course documentation. I’m so glad I did my research and chose the best trainer.… Read more

You get direct access to Rod himself—the head trainer—not just salespeople trying to sign you up cheaply, leaving you as just another number on their books.

My experience throughout the process has been extremely straightforward and easy to follow. I also have complete trust that Rod has my best interests at heart and genuinely wants to help me successfully complete my course. His dedication goes well beyond standard expectations. Enrolling in Connect Skills was one of the best decisions I’ve made.

My heartfelt gratitude to Rod—thank you for all your efforts, support, and hard work. It’s truly noticeable and appreciated.
