What our students are saying…

Amelia Russell

I just finished my cert 3 disability. The trainers were amazing and were very helpful all through my course. They were always there whenever I needed support. I wanted to do a paper copy rather than computer as it is what I was used to, they even broke the unit into 13 easy units on paper with the pairing book to make it as easy as possible for me. I would 100% recommend this company for anyone looking at futhering their qualifications.

Karen Kruse

Fantastic Training Company, just finished my Cert 4 in Disability and it was a great training workshop. Would certainly recommend Acadia for your training needs in this industry.

Jackson Weber

Akadia has great instructors that make the learning experience easy and enjoyable. The online portal and Quiz questions are set out in a clear and straight forward manner. We had a few laughs at our training session and it made the experience super enjoyable. Would recommend everyone grab there qualifications from here.
