Diploma of Business (Human Resources), October 2009

I had chosen to do my Diploma through AOT becuase it has an excellent reputation, it offers the flexibility to do assignments at your convenience, assignments are marked inless than 48 hours, and help is always just a phone call away.

After starting my course I've found the feedback I received from my trainer to continuously be constructive and encouraging; making the AOT correspondence learning process a much more positive experience than it could be. I've also learn through my 'Diploma in Human Resources journey' to be a lot more disciplined with my work too! Overall my experience with AOT has superseded all expections; I would highly recommend Accredited Online Training to anyone wanting to enhance their knowledge and broaden their career prospects.

Certificate IV Training and Assessment, May 2009

"I’m glad I chose Accredited Online Training as the means to attain the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, in the first place you made it easy!

I was at first hesitant about not having teacher and classroom interaction as part of effective learning, however once I got started I found it wasn’t an issue. The site was easy to navigate and everything was in plain English, if I did have a problem the trainers that were available to call and were simply wonderful.

What I did find personally great, was that I could study at my own pace and anytime I wanted allowing me to finish quickly so I could go get a job!

Which I now have!! By the way, I was glad to have the pay by the month option since I was unemployed."

"As a student who is 50+, and loves music, partying and socialising. My husband and I run a Karaoke business in Brisbane; we have been doing this for many years. Study was never my forte, at the start of my course I felt that I would have difficulty, but after phoning the trainers for help, they certainly assisted in every way possible.

Completing my course has helped me understand how to assist my Husband in his business. I now do all his paperwork, quotes, invoicing, I have even created a new business letter head. I now know how to prepare a spreadsheet, which I had never done before, not to mention scanning a photo and sending it."

"For the past 26 years I’ve been running the office for an engineering supply business, and although it more or less ran smoothly, I knew that it could be better organised, but I had no idea how to go about it.

My first thought was that at the age of 50 I was too old to try something like online learning. Add to that my lack of formal education (- I failed grade 10), I dismissed the whole idea.

Five months down the track I still agonise over sending in my answers, but I do it anyway. I have to say, this is the best thing I have done since getting married and raising our children. I now have a much better understanding of how to run the office and, yes, it is running much more efficiently."

"I live in a small country town, so I have always found it difficult to study as the closest training facility is miles away. Then I found out about online learning with AOT; I felt it was the most convenient study option for me. I did not have a full time job because I wanted to stay at home and raise my two children. Online training gave me the opportunity to study as well as look after the children.

I have now successfully completed my Certificate II in Business administration and almost immediately I was employed as a mature aged trainee in administration with my local council. This was a huge achievement for me, as I have not been in employment for the past twelve years."
