What our clients say

In their own words, from training providers and organisations we work with across the CAQA family. Rated 5.0 out of 5.0.

The course was very well structured, efficiently conducted, and built using a blend of core and customised content that we had requested. Being new to running an RTO this has filled in all my gaps, ones I knew, and those I did not know I had. I found Sukh and Michelle incredibly knowledgeable, constantly providing real-life examples for us to learning from. It is an added benefit to have two people who remain as active consultants in the space bringing us the most recent examples to share in the learning. I would suggest any person new to leading an RTO invest in this training, I wish I had done this earlier, it will help you make more informed decisions as you get your RTO up and running.
Luke KennyLocal Government Procurement
The facilitators are very knowledgeable and customised the training based on the needs of our organisation. Practical case study examples were shared throughout which helped to contextualise our learnings. The training was delivered online with regular breaks, which helped to maintain focus and sustain concentration levels. I highly recommend the CEO Awareness training to any person who is responsible for a Registered Training Organisation.
Emma MurrayLocal Government Procurement
CAQA resources has been the backbone of our RTO for resources. Our Audit was cleared without any rectification even when the Training Package was on High risk. Highly recommend CAQA resources. Sukh and Michelle are always there to assist even on their day off. Thank you.

Anu AroraIT officer
I have been very fortunate to have Sukh Sandhu as my manager of the VET Programs I delivered at UIT. His wealth of knowledge and experience in this sector, ESOS and quality management, facilitated the smooth running of the programs and team I was involved with. Sukh was supportive in all aspects of my work and approachable whenever I needed assistance. His understanding of leadership in terms of both trainers and students coupled with his business and commercial acumen were outstanding.

It was nice to meet you and thank you for all the support and consulting services that you provided to us during our audit. With great pleasure, I have no hesitation to recommend your resources and services to anyone who may be willing to purchase from you. Your support and guidance and friendly service during audit was parallel to none. Your company has provided very professional, honest, dependable services to us. Hopefully, we will be in touch sometime soon for other services that you provide which we have not utilised yet.
