More about WorkForward

Built for people who are already moving forward

WorkForward Business School was created for Australians who want to develop recognised business capability while continuing to work, manage family commitments and build experience in the real world.

Who we are

WorkForward Business School is a registered business name of Career Development and Training Pty Ltd, a Registered Training Organisation (RTO 45581). We deliver nationally recognised vocational qualifications with a focus on practical workplace application.

Our domestic online model is designed for learners across Australia, including people already working in business support, human resources, projects, operations or team leadership.

Why we exist

Career development should not always require putting work and income on hold. Our purpose is to make structured, nationally recognised training more accessible to working adults through flexible online delivery, clear enrolment information and trainer-guided assessment.

We aim to help students turn existing experience into stronger capability and apply new knowledge more confidently at work.

Your learning journey

From first enquiry to qualification completion

We use a clear process so prospective students understand the course, costs, entry requirements and study commitment before enrolment.

1

Enquire

Tell us which qualification interests you and provide basic information about your role, experience and goals.

2

Review course information

We provide current information about delivery, commencement arrangements, expected duration, tuition fees, payment options and assessment requirements.

Learn and complete assessment

Students work through learning resources and assessment tasks, supported by trainer guidance, feedback and progress communication.

Certification is issued after every required unit has been assessed as competent and all applicable administrative requirements are complete.

What students can expect

Flexible delivery with clear expectations

  • Online access to structured learning and assessment resources through Moodle.
  • Trainer and assessor guidance, clarification and assessment feedback.
  • Online meetings arranged where orientation, support or assessment discussion is required.
  • Transparent information about fees, payment arrangements and study requirements before enrolment.
  • Assessment decisions based on evidence and the requirements of each unit of competency.
  • Recognition of Prior Learning or Credit Transfer considered where applicable evidence and course requirements allow.

Our commitment

Clear information, credible assessment and respectful support

Be transparent

We want students to understand the course, costs, entry requirements, assessment expectations and likely study commitment before making an enrolment decision.

Protect quality

Nationally recognised qualifications require genuine learning and valid assessment. Competency is awarded only when the required evidence meets the applicable standards.

Support progress

We encourage students to communicate early, use trainer feedback and maintain a realistic study routine that works alongside employment and personal commitments.
