Real Stories from our
Previous Students
"I am extremely satisfied with the courses I’ve completed and will absolutely recommend your services to others. If you're looking for a top-tier training provider, I can't recommend CFT enough!"
"Recently, I needed to complete a Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) course, and CFT International was recommended by a friend.
After doing some research, I discovered that CFT is registered with the Australian Skills Quality Authority, which gave me confidence to proceed—and I'm so glad I did!
My experience with CFT has been outstanding! In fact, I was so impressed that I returned to their site to complete another certificate course.
Each course was well-structured, professional, and incredibly relevant. The presentation wasn’t just dry theory; it was brought to life with workplace scenarios through videos and photos.
This made it feel like I was right there in the classroom or workplace, which really helped drive the points home. Watching these videos gave me a clear understanding of what’s expected in various real-world situations.
One feature I particularly appreciated was that I couldn’t progress to the next level unless I fully understood the current one. This allowed me to take thorough notes and revisit areas I wasn’t completely confident in before moving on to the final assessments. It made the learning experience much more comprehensive and ensured I retained the information.
On top of that, their customer service is top-notch. I had to call once to clarify a point, and the help I received was excellent—special thanks to Carmel for her patience and guidance.
Thank you, CFT!"
