Specialist Partner Providers

As you can see, we’ve selected only the very best providers to ensure your learning is of the highest quality. You might be
spending the occasional day, or series of days, or even as much as one day a week with these specialists, depending on which
specialisation, or course option you choose, and our (with Partner Organisation) assessment of your skills before
commencement, in line with our requirements of the Standards for RTOs. We will tailor the timetabling of those units/skills
delivered by these third party training organisations to meet your needs, our requirements, and the availability of time within
the third party organisation.
In all cases, it is The Eagle Academy that is responsible for the quality of the training and assessment in compliance with the
Standards, and for the issuance of the AQF certification documentation. Please don’t hesitate to ask for more information at a
no obligation free consultation meeting at the Academy prior to enrolment. You can even go along and look at the partner
schools themselves. You’ll be impressed.
