Our story

We wrote the book on quality training. Then we opened the school.

The people behind CAQA have spent their careers in Australian vocational education - auditing RTOs, developing industry-validated learning resources used across the country, and guiding providers through every iteration of the Standards for RTOs.

In 2018 we put that expertise to work directly for learners, registering CAQA as a national RTO (45459). Today we deliver over 30 qualifications and a deep catalogue of skill sets across eight industry training packages - online/blended delivery, Australia-wide, with our registration extended to 2031.

CAQA RTO 45459 is part of Career Calling International, the group whose other businesses provide RTO compliance consulting and publish training and assessment resources used by providers across Australia.

Our promise is simple: clear information before you enrol, support while you study, and a nationally recognised qualification at the end.

What guides us

Our commitments to every student

Integrity first

Clear, accurate, current information before you enrol - and honest advice if a course isn't right for you. No pressure selling, ever.

Every learner matters

Diversity and inclusion are designed into our training, assessment and support - including reasonable adjustment and a culturally safe environment for First Nations students.

Industry relevance

Training products selected and contextualised with industry input, taught by credentialed trainers with current industry skills.

Flexibility that's real

Self-paced online study, monthly intakes, extensions where genuine progress is being made, and study plans that fit your life.

Feedback fuels us

Complaints, appeals and feedback are welcomed, managed fairly at no cost, and feed directly into continuous improvement.

Always improving

Systematic monitoring, validation and evaluation of training, assessment and student outcomes - governance the 2025 Standards expect, done properly.

Governance & compliance
