About College for Adult Learning
RTO code: 22228
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 will take the time to understand you and your level of experience. You will be matched to a qualification pathway that actually accelerates your success because it is built on the firm foundation of your real experience.
You can trust that CAL is committed to each and every graduate being a successful candidate for the job they desire.
When you study with CAL, you’ll be supported by our Real Outcomes Guarantee, ensuring you get real-world results from your studies - not just a piece of paper.
We promise to give you all the resources we can to help you achieve your goal, whether that’s to upskill, refocus your career, or get that promotion.
