I recently completed the TAE50116 Diploma at Fortress and was extremely pleased with the overall experience starting from the initial sign up in March 2023, on-going support and completion of my units. I was able to arrange meetings with my trainer without hassle when I needed further guidance, the admin team would send me emails and SMSs regularly to check in on me and they always were on hand to answer any questions or queries. The layout of the learning management system was fantastic and I always knew what modules had been completed and what was outstanding. It’s one of the best learning portals I’ve used to date. On completion of my last unit I was immediately sent my electronic certificate which is QR coded and verified which expedited the process so I could pass this onto my employer as proof of completion. I highly recommend Fortress Learning to anyone wishing to complete further study. Thanks again to the team for all your support over the last 12 months whilst completing the Diploma.

Staff are there to support you when you need it - I took on the Dip VET and found myself under pressure away from the course. The Fortress team were always happy to jump on a call and chat through options and offer their assistance where possible. A couple of extensions and we finally got there! Don't be dissuaded by the large coursework/RPL files - make a start and you'll find they aren't so bad.

This course has made me a better Trainer and Assessor in many ways. The research project was intense, but very rewarding, I intend to implement many of the strategies I have learned throughout the course. The training staff at Fortress were fantastic and very supportive all the way, they did not hesitate to help me when it was needed. Many thanks to Fortress, especially Jane MacIntosh.

I have studied at several different colleges and this one is by far one of the greatest. Not only was the materials and resources current and available but the trainer, Jane MacIntosh was nothing but excellent. Jane was there every time I needed assistance. She went beyond her duty to ensure I understood and carried out the tasks as required. Perfect example of the way things should be done

I decided to do the Dual Dip in a 6 month time frame. The course is very evidence based. Every time I started a new unit, it felt like "this time I am going to get stuck" I most likely will not have all the evidence required to show competency. However, somehow - I pulled it together every time. Jane, was good support, she really understands the curriculum to a high degree. When I figured I really couldn't pull it off in the allotted time, she said; "hmm you still might be able to" She walked me through the requirements in a less detailed version, that really assisted in getting it right the first time. Some of the functionality in Axcelerate is cumbersome, the acceptance of American spelling is a bit annoying. Overall, the experience with Fortress has been positive, I really like the 4 day return on assessments, it keeps you motivated and helps with time management. Thank you.

I recently completed my Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) in Training and Assessment Education (TAE) through Fortress Learning, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the process was seamless and well-organized. The support team was incredibly responsive and helpful, guiding me through each step with patience and clarity. The assessors at Fortress Learning are highly knowledgeable and provided valuable feedback that was both constructive and encouraging. Their expertise in the TAE field is evident, and their dedication to helping students succeed is truly commendable. What stood out the most was their tailored approach to my RPL application. They recognized my prior experience and skills, ensuring that the assessment process was relevant and fair. The resources provided were comprehensive and greatly aided in my understanding of the requirements. Overall, Fortress Learning has exceeded my expectations with its professional and supportive approach. I highly recommend their RPL services to anyone seeking to advance their TAE qualifications. Thank you, Fortress Learning, for an outstanding educational experience!

From the very first phone call, Fortress Learning had fantastic communication and straightforward processes. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing to go through the RPL and credit transfer process. They made the whole process so simple and stress free. Emails were normally responded to on the same day, and the giant portfolio I submitted was reviewed and marked within the week. Thank you to Jon, Odeza, Emma and everyone else involved.

Quality TAE RPL assessment is difficult. That's why lesser RTOs avoid it. I tried to negotiate a realistic RPL pathway with two other well-known TAE providers before settling on Fortress. I'm an experienced TAE assessor myself; I was impressed by their commitment to rigorously observing the standards while being flexible enough to capture genuine evidence. I was not only impressed with the service they provided me, I am confident that any colleague or potential employee of mine that is certified through Fortress genuinely has met the standards (and not just benefitted from the "tick and flick" approach of some providers). I have no association with Fortress but I would recommend them to any TAE professional seeking to upgrade their qualifications.
