NT Trainer of
the year
“The teachers at CDU were amazing!

They were very passionate and
knowledgeable and worked hard to meet
both the learning and personal needs
of students. Their care and individual
attention meant that students like me
received additional one-on-one training
when I missed classes due to family or
work commitments. The facilities were
great too, and accessible outside of
lessons if required.”
