The College for Adult Learning formed as a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) in 2009. As passionate educators we were continually frustrated with the explosion of cookie cutter and ‘one size fits all’ training standards being offered in the Australian marketplace. We witnessed well meaning adult learners (and businesses) wasting their money on too easily given Certificates and Qualifications that did not endure under employer scrutiny, when matched to their actual level of skill. While an accreditation may get you a job, only a quality program with substantial content, like a CAL Gold Standard Accreditation will provide you with an accelerated and accomplished career. A combined 30 years in Vocational and higher education has shown us that sustainable career success requires a CV that demonstrates actual experience in partnership with the achievement of a Certificate or Diploma qualification.
