Focus On Quality

At CAC, our prime focus is on delivering quality training and assessment. Once enrolled in one of our courses, students have embarked upon a promising career pathway that we will nurture with our Student Support Services and excellent teaching. We aim to help every student reach their educational goals.  

Following the completion of a course, many of our students choose to enhance their career prospects further by enrolling in other courses provided by CAC. We are proud that so many of our students remain with us as they work to gain further qualifications.

With a wealth of industry and teaching experience behind them, our training staff is highly qualified and well equipped to educate and inspire our students.

Focus On Student Support

Student satisfaction is a key to CAC’s core vision, and we ensure that students are being provided end-to-end assistance from the moment they start the course. During their study, students are provided with student support services like extra tuition, peer learning and mentoring. Revised timelines for completing assessments and other services as per the individual learners’ circumstances will also be considered.

Students can gain further support through Student Welfare services. There is a designated Student Support Officer, whom they can meet with whenever they wish within college business hours. The Student Support Officer can provide necessary consultation and support and, if required, refer the student to external welfare services.
