I am a student learning about disability, and this school has helped me understand and support others better. The teachers are kind and patient, and they make learning easy to understand. I feel comfortable asking questions and learning new things here. This school creates a positive and supportive environment for everyone.
Travis is fantastic school work can be confusing sometimes a book for work placement would be helpful.
I did the counselling diploma and it was great being all online and gave time to do it. But it's the supervisor Ronnie is really so calm and patient with me. He is supportive and kind. Main thing with counselling is practicing and getting to practice with him is great. Also good is that there is a phone line to call to speak to a real person for… Read more
help with things.
The assessments make you redo forms and procedures which I know is part of paperwork and legal requirements but that is very repetitive and boring and need to have forms in all formats would also be good. They do need two like full simple documents maybe for those of us who need simple things on the most important bits on how to use online things. Also clearer on with submissions if like several of the forms all in one so not so many Indvidual things to submit, (Also, compatibility across differing file types). I did learn a lot!
Weekly meetings were exactly what I didn’t expect I needed – Upskilled as an RTO was good. I found their learning material and assessment material jumped around a bit between old and new layouts. I also found that the topics didn’t necessarily “flow” into one another and they could have been done in any order. I will say that I was super impressed with the my main point of contact Sarah Marshall. She… Read more · 1
escalated issues for me about the learning platform and answered all questions I had in a very quick manner. If not for Sarah and her offer to meet fortnightly to keep my accountable, I would say that this isn’t something I would have finished. Thanks Sarah for your help and support in completing this Diploma.
An excellent platform for increasing your skills and career opportunities – I recently completed the Certification III course with UpSkill. The course assessments were quite lengthy, but Gideon was very helpful throughout the course completion. Throughout the course, he explained everything clearly and in a fun way, which made learning fun and enjoyable. Show reply

My experience with Upskilled as a student doing Certificate IV in IT Systems Administration has generally been good. The teaching staff I have had contact with have generally helped me get through the course and answered my questions. I have yet to… Read more
ask them a question that has stumped them so they do know their stuff. The course material, especially the more general subjects, could use some editing and polish as I did spot a few mistakes with them during my time. The mistakes I spotted were not too important but still detracted from the experience a bit. The supplementary material, mostly in the form of LinkedIn Learning vids, were useful but I should say that you should not spent all your time watching them as there are plenty there.
Follow-up · I found most of the assessments reasonable although the roleplay simulation exercises may present challenges for students with odd hours of availability. Upskilled seems to be attempting to remedy this with the implementation of AI Roleplay agents but I haven't the opportunity to use it yet so I cannot comment on it. As for course flexibility,… Read more

context. My teacher, Ronnie Lynch has been really enjoyable. He has always helped being with a endearing overview of the subject matter and beyond. I would always recommend this course and teacher to anyone who was thinking of enrolling in this course.
Follow-up · New skills gained have been knowledgable and rewarding. I have learnt to help the client the client needs to help themselves with guidance and care. My latest lesson is in case management with a basis of person-centred, needs, strengths and rights based applications. The course structure is a little more in-depth than the government offered… Read more

Rosan provided clear guidance through assessments, making expectations easy to understand, and offered constructive feedback that genuinely helped strengthen my skills and confidence.

and consistently encouraging. This support kept me motivated and helped build a strong sense of achievement throughout the course. The program was flexible and well-structured, allowing me to balance my learning while staying engaged. As much of my learning was recognised through prior experience, the course has been valuable in formalising my existing skills and providing a recognised qualification that reflects my experience in the workplace. Overall, I feel more confident, capable, and validated in the skills I bring to my role. Stepping back into learning was a big decision for me. As a mum of four, a grandmother of seven, a full-time carer for my elderly mum, and working full-time, I was both nervous and determined to see this through. I am truly grateful for Rosan’s support, patience, and guidance, which helped me build confidence and stay on track throughout the course.
I am currently studying for my Certificate III in Individual Support, and my experience with Upskilled has been excellent. My instructor, Jacqui, does an amazing job helping me through the course. She is very supportive, encouraging, and has helped me build my confidence throughout my studies. Erica from Student Support is also fantastic. She is… Read more
always helpful and ready to assist with any questions or concerns. Travis has been very helpful as well, guiding me through queries related to my work placement.
Ben was my first point of contact when I enrolled with Upskilled. He was professional, efficient, and played a big part in reinforcing my decision to study with Upskilled after I had spent a lot of time researching training providers online.
In fact, everyone I have dealt with at Upskilled has been friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. I am very glad that I chose to study with Upskilled and would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone considering further education.
Overall, completing the Advanced Diploma in CSM was a wonderful experience with Upskilled. It was fantastic to be given the opportunity to complete this in my own time as I am a full time employee in the disability industry. I had wonderful support from Rosan throughout the course time and he was always so responsive whenever I had a… Read more
question/query. Rosan was great through the PRL process too.
The feedback I received was really empowering and encouraging which gave me more motivation throughout the time. It kept me wanting to do more and learn more and really solidified why I am doing what I am doing.
Overall, this course helped me be a better manager and understand more such as finances and organisational changes and helped me support my staff throughout different areas.
I really recommend Upskilled for those who are time poor due to their full time jobs and it really improves time management skills too. If I was to go back to studying, I would definitely do this through Upskilled again!

My experience at Upskilled has been very good! Any issues I’ve had have been resolved quickly and same with any confusion. They also communicated with the company I work for and answered there questions aswell. I would recommend using this platform especially if there is a group of you and you can work on it together.

videos and simulate work scenarios it made me quite uncomfortable but in saying that once you started you did get a bit more used to it and the good thing is they did not expect you to be an actor. They were there with the grading process. Because at the end of the day, I’m not studying for being an actor. So it’s great they didn’t expect 5 star acting. I would recommend just starting it and getting it done, I was nervous to start it and it took me a little bit but once I actually did it then I got it over with reasonably quickly.
A huge shout out to Jacqui and Upskilled for the amazing support throughout my Cert III Individual Support (Ageing). Jacqui responded quickly to my emails and was very knowledgeable in providing assistance. Jacqui was also encouraging and patient with the role plays, making everyone feel comfortable. Highly recommend this course and the team at Upskilled.
Jacqui has been such an amazing teacher throughout the course. She responds to emails as soon as she can and always ensures we understand our course. 100% recommend having Jacqui as a teacher!

I had a very positive experience with Upskilled while completing my Diploma of Counselling studies. One of the major contributing factors was the ongoing support from my trainer, Ronnie Lynch. Ronnie has been incredibly understanding, compassionate and supportive. The level of support I received made a significant difference for me and kept me… Read more
motivated, despite facing personal hardships. He was patient, and gave me the extra time I needed to work through units thoroughly to complete my work. I am very grateful for his level of support, consistent guidance and reassurance. He is just also genuinely a great teacher and easy to talk to.
Ronnie brings valuable insight from his own experiences, which is one of the things I appreciated the most about him. He provided an added level of depth to the learning which makes the content more real and practical. Throughout each session, I have been able to ask him as many questions as I wanted, even when I had a lot to ask. This made me feel very supported and encouraged.
I truly appreciated the understanding, patience and knowledge Ronnie has brought to the experience. I am extremely thankful for all the support I have received throughout my studies. If there is anyone out there reading this with a chronic illness, this is to you; yes you can do this, and yes the support is there for you!
One of the trainers Jacqui always has a respectful and hard work ethic with helping her students. Online platform zoom role plays are a breeze with her and manages it extremely well with all students that are at different stages throughout the course. Thankyou kindly

Travis at my checkpoint 1 during work placement and he had some very helpful tips and techniques about my assessments and was very reassuring and supportive. He reiterated to reach out at any time to himself or any of the teachers if I feel overwhelmed or need guidance on any section of the entire cert III. All the staff have been supportive and I have already recommended Upskilled to a friend.

I’ve nearly finished my Diploma of Information Technology (Cyber Security) through Upskilled and wanted to leave a review because the experience has been a good one overall. The biggest positive for me has been the support from both the ICT department and the student support side. The technical content can get quite full on at times, especially… Read more
for someone not currently working in IT, but I felt like there was genuine effort from staff to help me keep moving forward.
What I appreciated most was that the support didn’t feel cold or generic. There was real care there, and that matters a lot when you’re trying to get through a demanding course while dealing with normal life pressures as well.
The course has helped me build stronger knowledge in cyber security and related IT areas, and I’m glad I stuck with it. I’d definitely say the support team and ICT trainers played a big part in helping me reach this point.
