Built to be the one place a training organisation needs.

At CAQA Groups we bring together a diverse range of services to empower the education sector. Our mission is to facilitate your success through a comprehensive suite of offerings, delivered by people who have sat on both sides of the audit table.

CAQA Groups brings together the consultancies, publishers, platforms and training arms of Career Calling International into one ecosystem for the education, training and compliance sector. Every brand is listed here, every person is named, and every claim is one you can check.

Compliance, resources, digital delivery, recruitment and research, working as one group rather than five suppliers.

In their words

What providers say after the audit.

Testimonials as published by the people who wrote them, from RTO managers, directors and chief executives across Australia.

We appreciate the support that CAQA has and continues to provide in maintaining compliance and achieving 100% success in our ASQA RTO reregistration audit. You really give us fantastic support and assistance.

RTO, MelbourneRegistered training organisation

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.

Neeraj KhuranaDirector, Institute of Science Management and Technology

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 learn from. I would suggest any person new to leading an RTO invest in this training.

Luke KennyLocal Government Procurement

His high level of professionalism, commitment and dedication in getting our RTO registration was very sublime. His strong attention to detail and guidance throughout the audit process helped us to understand clearly the key requirements for our initial registration.

Mahendra and BhaviDirectors, Australian College for Excellence Pty Ltd, Melbourne

Your support and guidance and friendly service during audit was parallel to none. Your company has provided very professional, honest, dependable services to us.

Gopal PokharelChief Executive Officer, Australian National Academy of Education

These are by far the best I have seen in my search so far. Really good visually and lots of real workplace examples and drawings.
