The College for Adult Learning

I've had an excellent experience with the College for Adult Learning. The support from the trainers and assessors has been outstanding, and the course materials are well structured and easy to follow. At first, the assessments looked a bit intimidating, but once I got started, the clear instructions and support made them much more manageable. The… Read more ·  1

assessment structure guides you through each step, which really helped build my confidence. I'd definitely recommend CAL to anyone looking to further their education while balancing work and other commitments.

Currently attempting my course - struggling to engage with the outdated video content that is blurry and can be 30 years old. I have reached out for help on feedback for what I've submitted and all I got was "competent" - with little to no feedback… Read more

in what I can improve on, what I can focus on for the next assessment. I was advised to skip all of the learning materials and head straight to the assessment, which is a maze in itself. I've reached out for someone to help but reviewing my papers - there is so much information to complete - we are expected to submit the papers once and wait for a review, then we only have 1 further chance to submit all of the papers. It took me a very long time to decide which course I wanted and I had hope this would be easy to navigate, would have upto date support and I could get through this, but the lack of support in answering my questions is disappointing. I will keep trying even with the lack of support but I would recommend to get another qualification under your belt, but do not use CAL. Very disappointed.

I have enrolled in a Supply chain and logisitics management course. Now coursework is ok but the assessments are st^pid. For example my first assessment had 3 tasks. Sounds ok but when you go into them first part is multiple choice and short answer roughly about 45-50 questions, not bad. The multiple choice is straight Ai slop. Some of the… Read more

multiple choice questions have a couple answers that both correct so you just chose which one sounds better? Secondly the next part of the assessment is about short answer case studies. Sounds good, but after answer the first 16 questions they ask you to write an entire report around another case study. Sounds good, they even give you 10 questions which you need to cover. Now at this point (roughly 6500 words in) you think ok they have properly assessed me on the coursework (keep in mind it's one subject Im describing here). NO your not done the next part of the assessment is to write another report. Answering 20 questions. Some of these 20 questions proceed to ask you to write another completely separate report. So at what point should the assessments be cut off. How much do you accurately need me to answer to say yes you have studied and learnt the corse material. Now I've read some of the other replies this organisation has sent people. Just to preface and state Im using an alternative email in order to not receive backlash for my criticism of this organisation.

I found my WHS Cert 4 course to be very thorough and relevant to every aspect of my workplace. Every module covered off on what is needed to understand the Law and regulations, why policies and procedures are in place at the workplace in relation to Safety and keeping everyone safe. It helped to improve computer skills, collecting and managing… Read more ·  1

data and how to help deliver Safety information, topics, changes and improvements to my work peers. The support available from the team at CAL was encouraging and very helpful. I had moments through the course where I was second guessing being able to finish and struggling at times to get back to it. It only took a pop-up notice, an email or a call through to Sherrice to set my mind at ease and I would be able to steady myself to continue. At first, I did find it difficult to navigate the web pages of the course but as I worked through each Module, I learnt how it worked and where I was lacking. As my computer skills improved - so did the knowledge of the course set up. Thanks to Sherrice and the other support team at CAL for helping me develop my WHS capabilities. I look forward to now aiding my workplace here at Boags Brewery in Tasmania in all aspects of Health and Safety!

I had an excellent experience with my WHS Diploma program. The course was very well structured and definitely helped me develop my professional skills and confidence in workplace health and safety. The learning materials were practical, relevant, and closely connected to real workplace situations. I also appreciated the support of my… Read more ·  1

coach,Sherrice Robinson, who consistently provided guidance and helped me expand my knowledge with current and updated WHS information. Overall, it was a valuable and rewarding learning experience, and I would highly recommend this program to anyone seeking to improve their WHS knowledge and professional capabilities.

College for Adult Learning provided a wonderful and supportive online learning experience. I studied a Diploma in Work Health and Safety and found that the units contained plenty of information of the subject matter. The online training platform allowed me to learn in a way that was suitable to me and flexible (via phone or on a laptop). There was… Read more ·  1

the perfect balance between theory and practice (i.e. 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. The two year timeframe to complete the diploma was achievable, even with full-time work. The only thing I would change is to receive feedback on the incorrectly answered questions in the end of unit quiz. This creates a learning opportunity for people studying on how they can improve their knowledge.

I was very satisfied with the teaching and course content throughout my Diploma of Project Management. The online learning materials were clear, informative and well organised and the trainers were supportive and responsive whenever assistance was needed. I found the course moderately challenging, which helped me learn and develop new skills, but it was manageable with the guidance and support provided by the college. Show reply

The portal is dreadful, very difficult to understand and even the trainers admit it is not good! They were happy to extend my course timeline but I found it impossible to understand. I had my friend join me in a meeting online with a trainer to see if they could understand it, he found it clunky and unreliable

Very unsatisfactory Very hard to get support can not understand support staff I've never done an online course before and after this experience never will i again. It has been an expensive learning curve for me to get absolutely nothing out of. Almost one and a half years into it no one thing has been submitted yet not one phone call to see if… Read more

something is wrong. I guess my money will keep comming out of my account until the end. I'd like to know how many people this has happened to and this mob gets exposed.

It’s like trying to navigate a maze. There is a lack of communication from CAL in regards to feedback, except the weekly invoice which is always spot on every time. It maybe simple to some people but to me it’s an eye opener and it’s not as easy as I thought

The student support at the College for Adult Learning exceeded my expectations! I was initially reluctant to engage because I thought I should be able to handle everything myself, but the support call completely changed my perspective. The conversations are always supportive, respectful, and genuinely helpful. At the end of each call feeling… Read more ·  1

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… Read more ·  1

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.

The course is generally straightforward, though it can be a bit lengthy, which might be challenging for some students. The instructors are very supportive and provide detailed explanations in the videos. They also respond quickly, which minimizes any confusion or waiting. Overall, I have had a positive and quiet experience with them. Show details ·  1

work through it. They usually have half the course available at a time so as to not overwhelm you but I requested full access and was readily granted it and the full course became available within the hour.

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 when help was required, including some weekend ability to fit study around my work schedule. I also enjoy the assessment call booking system that is used as it allowed me to book… Read more ·  1

assessment simulation appointments 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. 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.
