Course was fun and interactive

“The course was fun, interactive with immense wealth of knowledge. It provides very easy and practical application.”

The videos were very helpful

The videos were very helpful to see what concepts would look like in practice. Very comprehensive, very user-friendly.

Another excellent course from the eCALD team

Another excellent course from the eCALD team, I have attended others which were face to face but this was the first online course. I am grateful to have been able to complete this at my own pace and in small chunks. Will certainly recommend to colleagues. The variety of scenarios, reading, questions, reflection all helped to make the course more enjoyable from an online learning perspective.

This is high quality learning

I like the online course interactive tools and the use of video and audio scenarios, it kept me engaged. This is high quality learning. I have learned to use the cultural assessment tool. The CALD assessment tool helps me to understand the client’s explanatory model so I can effectively communicate with them.

Online Learner (Module 9 Working in a Mental Health Context with CALD Clients)

Improved awareness

This course has certainly made me think about how I interact with people from other cultures which I was not really aware of previously.
