My experience at ACAP was brilliant. The learning was very practical and hands-on, the class sizes were small, which meant I really connected with my classmates and educators.

The flexibility of online classes at ACAP was huge for me. While I was working, I was still able to do the evening classes and I found the lecturers to be highly responsive.

5/9

What our students say

I was nervous to start working as a lawyer after a career change, but the mentors in ACAP’s Practical Legal Training helped so much; they made me feel as worthy as anyone else. ACAP met me where I was at, but it challenged me to be my best and it shaped me into the lawyer I am today.

Anthony,
Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice

6/9

What our students say

I feel accepted as an international student at ACAP; the campus is full of people from all over the world. What I most love though is that ACAP has shown me I was made for social work and given me the tools and confidence to make a difference in people’s lives.

Rikesh,
Master of Social Work (Qualifying)

7/9

What our students say

Enrolling in counselling and psychological science at ACAP has completely changed my life. I felt more at home at ACAP compared to a big university thanks to the small classes and one-on-one time with teachers. I was finally able to thrive and learn real practical skills, and I sometimes can’t believe how far I’ve come!

Tidus,
Bachelor of Psychological Science and Counselling

8/9

What our students say

I did the Graduate Certificate of Applied Coaching online with ACAP and it was so hands on and practical; I was able to fit it around my life and build an amazing skillset. Now I coach business owners all over Australia while still being a present mum. I love what I do and I’m so confident because I have my ACAP training backing me up.
