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

I have just started my Diploma in Case Management, and I can already see my understanding expanding immensely. Coming from New Zealand, with previous experience in government departments and NGO sectors, I still feel that this course is adding… Read more
significant value to my knowledge. It is building my confidence, and I believe it is truly worth the investment. I would like to acknowledge my Program Coordinator, Rosan, who has been very supportive and encouraging. His guidance has motivated me to stay focused on my learning and work towards my goals. I also want to mention Cassi from the Admission Team, who has been an absolute delight to deal with. Her professional manner, positive communication, and the way she encouraged me made a big difference to my overall experience. This course has greatly empowered me by enhancing my confidence and expanding my knowledge in community services. I am developing stronger skills in case management, communication, and client engagement, which I believe will be valuable in real-world practice. My goal is to complete this course successfully and begin my career in the community sector, where I can make a meaningful contribution.
Follow-up · It feels like yesterday. I am not quite sure where to begin because I feel I have so much to say about this journey. I have always believed in continuing to learn and progress in life. Knowledge has no age limit, and often the only limitations are the ones we place on ourselves when we think we are too old, not capable enough, or not suitable for… Read more
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

I'm doing my Cert III on Individual Support. The Upskilled team is just amazing. I remember when I abandoned the course for 3 months without doing anything because I was feeling so exhausted, and Jackie reached out asking if everything was ok and she motivated me into resuming again. I faced some challenges getting a place for my Work Placement,… Read more
but Erica was there for me every step of the way. I felt, and I still feel so comfortable when I'm talking to Erica. She gives all her time to help you. At one point I felt like I was pushing her too much and probably nagging her when I really wanted my Work Placement to go through. But to my surprise she never minded. She was always cheerful and willing to help whenever I called her. With Upskilled, I feel that If I go out there I'll be marketable because they don't leave you half baked. At first I was so annoyed with a lot of role plays, I don't want to lie. But later on I discovered that it was for my own good. They will be doing there best to make sure that we have enough knowledge for us to fit in the industry
I completed my Diploma of Community Services (Case Management) CHC52021 through Upskilled and was fortunate enough to be guided through the course by assessor Rosan Lal alongside his very skilled administrative support coordinator Erica Harris. Throughout my time studying with Rosan and Erica they played a very big and detrimental part in being… Read more
able to successfully complete this diploma and I could never thank them both enough for their efforts. I enrolled in this diploma whilst employed by child protection in Victoria working as a case practice support worker in the case support (contact and transport) team and determined to progress further into this career. I chose upskilled as I worked fulltime, have 3 young children and have a diagnosis of ADHD, where Upskilled allowed a flexible, supported and self-paced option to complete these studies. During the duration of my enrolment, I worked closely with Rosan to identify options for some units to be completed by RPL (recognition of prior learning) taking into consideration my current role and what I am already achieving daily. I was also fortunate to apply for a credit transfer for 3 units from my previous childcare qualifications (which I must say was a significantly easy process) RPL consisted of a very easy to follow RPL kit including a theory evidence document, evidence of this competency within the workplace and a verbal assessment conducted with Rosan. Rosan was absolutely amazing through the RPL process, ensuring competency was evident in a thorough and consistent manner. As I commenced the RPL units identified, my career in child protection rapidly took off and I had been allocated into the investigations and assessment team from this I qualified to complete further units under RPL. Whilst in this team there was a demand for further progression and pressure was set in for my studies to be completed. I consulted this with Rosan and Erica, where nothing was too hard, too much or too complicated for them to support me through this. Their communication was beyond what you could expect and both Rosan and Erica always ensured I was on track and had everything together and finalised. Rosan willingly with not stress adapted to my work arrangements and demands (which meant a lot of rescheduling from my behalf) however ensured he always had an hour time block spare to reschedule and complete verbal assessments in a time efficient manner. Towards the end of my completion which was around the easter period, Rosan and Erica were patient, encouraging and provided outstanding support to finalise all units and ensure units were successfully completed in time for my career progression which had resulted in a promotion that I was very excited to share with them. I will always recommend Upskilled to anyone seeking to study, and have already encouraged many co-workers to further their careers through Upskilled in which I have successfully supported 3 co-workers to join Upskilled one transferring from another education company.
My experience with my trainer and assessor, Rosan, was very positive and supportive. Rosan provided clear guidance through assessments, making expectations easy to understand, and offered constructive feedback that genuinely helped strengthen my skills and confidence. I always felt comfortable reaching out, as Rosan was approachable, responsive,… Read more
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 have been completing my diploma in counselling and I've had a fantastic experience. My tutor Ronnie has been such an exceptional help. You can tell he has a passion for what he does and wants to help you succeed rather then just "make it through the course". I've really enjoyed my experience.
I would like to sincerely thank Erica and Rowtuja for always helping and supporting me with my role-play recordings while I am completing my Certificate IV in Business Administration. I really appreciate the time, effort, and encouragement you both have given me. You are always so helpful, supportive, and kind, and I am very grateful to have your support throughout my course. Thank you both so much! ❤️

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.

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!
